Doomsday

Mankind now has an expiration date. The year is 2008, but that number matters little, as a pandemic threatens to wipe out the whole of the human race. For many in the United Kingdom - the epicenter of the outbreak - the end is nigh, so why bother to keep count?<br /><br />Within days of detection of the Reaper virus (replete with open skin sores, uncontrollable bleeding and, ultimately, fatal liquefaction of internal organs) millions are infected in Scotland, the killer disease's home turf. Government has no choice but to declare the country a "hot zone" and quarantine the populace in hopes of containing Reaper's spread. With military blockades on every highway, bridge and railway, all traffic in or out is halted, and a 21st-century version of Hadrian's Wall - with reinforced, steel ramparts and remote sentry guns - is erected around Scotland's border. Sealed off from the rest of the world, what was once Scotland is now a forgotten No Man's Land, with Reaper given free reign to annihilate the population sealed inside.
