The movie opens with a 911 dispatcher reporting a rabid dog attack at a construction site in the California desert. Park rangers Neil, Gibson, and their chief Mike Cortez are on their way to shoot the dog. Neil begins to suspect that the population of Mourning Rock is being infected by an unknown virus.
Jeff Wolfe financed about half of the project together with his wife Jennifer Wolfe and raised the rest from his friends. Wolfe says that the film cost under $1 million. Wolfe also serves as president of the Stuntmen’s Association of Motion Pictures. The film shot under a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement for 19 days around Los Angeles during last year’s labor strikes.[4]
