A killer disease hits an isolated town in America, but all under 19's (19 turns out to be an important number later in the film) are immune to the disease. Before the outbreak, there already is a split between the town's kids: the rich private school kids and the poor public school kids. After a few days of mass chaos, the kids have run out of resources and have a limited supply of food and there is no electricity or water. As well as this, some kids are not immune to the disease and they have developed superhuman qualities. The powers then lead to a divide between human kids and the mutated kids, leading up to a final battle between the two sides. Meanwhile, a supernatural being lurks in the background...
