Not much publicity about this show or any prior encounters with the actresses and actors. I'm wondering will it get to Singapore (somehow - hope not).

In a city where suddenly a plague that causes blindness to any normal healthy person has been creating havoc within the country. With no cure in sight and scientists not able to explain the phenomenon, the government decided to quarantine those infected in a designated area. Worse of all, the diseases is contagious in nature whereby it can be easily spread from one person to another.

Soon, as days goes by, the quarantine center is getting more crowded with more infected victims send to the center. With food getting scarce, victims from different wards tried securing the food supplies at the expense of others. From here, barbaric actions start to evolve with the food controller taking advantage of the weak.

Nevertheless, within the quarantine center, there was a lady (wife of a doctor who was infected and quarantine as well) who was immune to the whole fiasco but yet kept it as a secret so that she could continue to take care of her husband and others as well.

After spending 2 hrs, the show doesn't explain what kind of disease, how does it comes about and finally how did it just suddenly disappear. It's just the type of show whereby you will throw a paper+stone and follow by a middle finger sign to the TV :(
