The plot's main characters are a County Sheriff and his wife who is a security officer at a biological research lab which unbeknowned to many is run by the Government for developing germ warfare weapons.
Whilst a team of research scientists are working in the level 4 lab a vial is broken and a bio-agent gets released.
Biosensors detect the release and the sheriffs wife (the security officer) instigates a total lockdown.
Her written orders in the safe describe how to activate "Protocol One" , a government scheme designed to handle such a situation.
A government containment goon squad is despatched to cordon the area whilst maintaining a bogus cover story.
Meanwhile, many of the lab staff who were not working in the lab and thus were not exposed to the bio-agent try to force the security officer to rescind the lockdown to allow them to leave but it becomes known that the bio-agent has escaped from the lab and into the air conditioning.
The bio-agent causes people to act violently and attack people ( a bit like Resident Evil) but surprisingly the sheriff's wife is not affected.
We later learn this is due to her being pregnant and her upsurge in hormones protecting her. A cure is created and all those not dead yet live happily ever after .
A bit cheesey but still a laugh.
