The Mutant: In a secret laboratory beneath L.A.'s streets, a group of top scientist worked on the ultimate biological weapon...daring to create what humans were never meant to know...

And no medicine could stop the thing hiding in the rubble, watching, reaching out with bloodstained claws for the unsuspecting, the injured...or for you.
