Synopsis:

A private military contractor unleashes a bioengineered zombie that can turn invisible on the city. An untrusting teenager named Charlotte rushes to leave her mom’s house before her estranged dad, Brian, arrives to spend time with her. They hear people throughout the neighborhood scream. Before a screaming woman can tell Brian what’s wrong, a Phantom bites her. Charlotte and Brian try to escape in her car, but the Phantom destroys the engine. The woman turns into a Phantom, and both Phantoms attack Charlotte and Brian.

Charlotte and Brian run into the house, and the Phantoms get inside. Brian tells Charlotte to hide in a closet so she’ll be safe while he kills the Phantoms. She doesn’t trust him that she’ll be safe, but she eventually agrees to hide. He kills the Phantoms. Charlotte and Brian leave the house to find her mom, escape the city, and make it to his brother’s underground shelter.
