When the Reaper begins to emerge in another country 25 years later, an elite team and their leader (Rhona Mitra) are sent to the contaminated landscape of Scotland to find a cure.

The Cast:

  • Bob Hoskins as Bill Nelson, a policeman who nominates Sinclair for the mission and monitors her progress.
  • Malcolm McDowell as Kane, a former scientist who found the cure for the virus and now lives as a feudal lord in an abandoned castle. described his character as a King Lear. to Marshall, Kane is based on Kurtz from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
