Synopsis
A feature about a mysterious virus outbreak in a suburb of Glasgow. Father Sherko (Sherko Zen-Aloush) is increasingly concerned that his daughter Resa (Benae Hassan) is getting sick. Presenting themselves at the hospital they encounter a number of asylum seekers from their block, all demonstrating similar symptoms. At first it looks like an epidemic of flu, but soon it appears to be something infinitely more sinister. Quickly the civil and emergency services are beyond breaking point and it emerges that the authorities are powerless to halt this disaster. When Asylum Support Unit worker Rabeena Dhondy (Robina Qureshi) arrives at Sherko and Resa's flat she finds the little girl is suffering from an extremely bad cough. At the hospital, the doctor Annie Millbrook (Morag Calder) diagnoses flu. Shortly afterwards one of the Resa's neighbours Hamez (Salah Hussein) dies from what the hospital are still calling flu.
