An AI expert must use her lifetime's work to find a cure for a rabies outbreak, that threatens to push humanity to the edge of extinction. But can she save humanity from it's greatest threat - itself?

I enjoyed this script for many reasons. First of all, you take a well-worn concept and give it some inspired twists and detail. Secondly, you go to great lengths to build multiple thrilling set pieces, deftly articulating the action and painting a vivid picture of a city overtaken by anarchy, hysteria and fear. Where I think your script needs work has to do with your dialogue, characterization and thematic integration. Often characters make snark...
