In Manhattan, in a dilapidated building on Mulberry Street, the super Ross has trouble to repair the decayed systems to improve the lives of the tenants. The former boxer Clutch is a leader in the building and is anxiously waiting for the return of his beloved daughter Casey from a hospital for veterans after serving overseas. He prepares a surprising homecoming party for Casey with his gay neighbor Coco. Clutch feels an attraction for his neighbor, the single mother and waitress Kay, and her teenage son Otto respects him like a father. Clutch is also close to Frank, who is very sick, and his friend Charlie. Meanwhile there is a rat attack in a subway station, followed by two others in different stations, forcing the Major to shut down the public transport system. Soon the victims bitten by rats turn into flesh eating mutants, attacking the other human beings, and there is an outbreak that puts Manhattan in quarantine. The inhabitants have to fight to survive the attack of the ratlike creatures and Clutch gives his best effort trying to protect Casey and his friends.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
