The premise

Police lieutenant detective Thomas 'Thom' Randall's steady girl-friend, Dr. Jennifer 'Jen' Allen, is Dr. Aaron Michaels's main assistant on his pharmaceutical firm Bellion's research program to cure the highly contagious, fatal infection Guinin. A convicted murderer, whom Thom arrested, is one of their special drug test subjects, but escapes. The convict and Jen are affected by radioactively altered DNA from an experimental reactor used on mosquitoes which transfer quinine. The convict soon mutates into a mosquito-like monster, which sucks its victims dry. By the time Thom and his junior murder brigade partner Charlie Morrison figure out what happens, Jen starts mutating herself.

Horror Vault's take

When a pharmaceutical research program experimenting with radioactively altered mosquito DNA goes catastrophically wrong, a convicted killer escapes the lab and begins a grotesque transformation into a bloodsucking creature. Detective Thom Randall finds his investigation dangerously personal when those closest to him become entangled in the outbreak. Racing against time alongside his partner, Thom must untangle the science behind the mutation before the body count climbs higher. This low-budget TV creature feature leans hard into classic monster-movie thrills with a modern sci-fi twist.
