Starring Jennylyn Mercado and Tom Rodriguez, the premise is about an experimental drug that kills cancer cells. However, its side effect causes a deeper problem – the mutation of a dangerous and highly contagious virus called the Monkey Virus Disease or MVD wherein anyone infected begins to have seizures and becomes rabid and violent.
Director Mark A. Reyes said: “It’s very exciting, a story of survival – survival of humans, survival of family, survival of two people in love, it’s a bigger picture. It’s fresh, it’s new, and the whole essence of a suspense-drama is here. I knew from the start it’s going to be big. I’m approaching this cinematically; I’m using film cameras for our taping.”
To make the series more interesting, Direk Mark said they incorporated a gorilla to the storyline and used animatronics.
Playing equally vital roles are Jaclyn Jose as Dr. Evangeline Lazaro, Mark Herras, LJ Reyes and with the special participation of Ken Chan. Also in the cast are Jay Manalo, Irma Adlawan, Ronnie Henares, Glenda Garcia, Diva Montelaba, Arra San Agustin and Leanne Bautista.
