Determined to escape the confines of an evil laboratory, two dogs make a flight for freedom into the rugged hills. Panicked by the cries of other animals on their way out, they accidentally break a vial used by plague researchers, and when news gets out that the two could be infected, the human world launches the deadliest hunt. Pursued at every turn, the dogs are forced to retreat further and further until their time runs out and they must make the ultimate decision and take their chance with fate.
