VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE!
Come for the sci-fi vampire thriller, stay for the surrogate father-daughter drama! This exciting series adaptation of Justin Cronin’s best-selling trilogy follows Project NOAH, a secret medical facility where scientists are experimenting with a virus that may lead to the cure for all infectious diseases...but could also eradicate the human race. ( Talk about side effects: The virus’ trial patients are death-row inmates who are indeed immune to disease — but they’re also killer bloodsuckers!) As an imminent flu pandemic threatens the globe, U. S. federal agent Brad Wolgast ( Mark-paul Gosselaar) is assigned with bringing in 10-year-old orphan Amy Bellafonte (Saniyya Sidney) as Project NOAH’S latest test subject. But after meeting Amy, Brad has a crisis of conscience (the fact he's grieving the death of his own young daughter contributes) and they end up on the run together. Amid the action and ethical issues, it’s Brad and Amy’s bond and rapport that gives The Passage its soul.
