| ShortSummary    = A Syrian man is found to be infected by a highly contagious virus. He infects multiple people, including his doctor and family, and sets in motion a series of events which lead to Zone 6 of Atlanta's being quarantined via a [[Cordon sanitaire (medicine)|cordon sanitaire]] created by use of [[Shipping container]]s to block off streets. Which a limited few were used to create a [[Sally port]] into and out of Cordon Saitaire. Government official and Dr. Sabine Lommers erects this barrier around Zone 6 to prevent the virus from spreading. She asks police officer Lex Carnahan to stay outside the barrier to maintain calm and become the public face of the virus containment effort in the rest of the city. He eventually accepts, but only in the hopes of learning what is happening inside the quarantine, as his girlfriend Jana and his friend and fellow cop Jake are inside.
