The population of the Earth has effectively been divided in two - the 'Cleans' and the 'Infecteds' - after an outbreak of Rapid Aging Disease, which causes the sufferers to age one year every day. After she becomes pregnant, Ruth Hennessey (Polly Shannon) discovers that her husband is infected, but that he is close to finding a cure for RAD. Unfortunately, in her quest to save her unborn baby, Ruth encounters Ethan Grant (Nigel Bennet), boss of the company which manufactures Anzanol, the only drug that can slow down the effect of RAD; and it seems that he will stop at nothing to protect his company's interests.
