Alien life forms have spread throughout the U.S.-Mexico border region leading to the quarantine of half of Mexico. The U.S. and Mexican militaries are battling to contain the creatures, with a wall stretching along the American border. The film starts with a scene of an army patrol driving on an empty road in the middle of the night. An explosion takes place flipping one of the vehicles. The following brief scenes show US soldiers firing at the tentacled creature that ambushed the patrol. In the background a transmission is heard from one of the soldiers obtaining approval for a danger close airstrike, meanwhile a man in civilian clothing is screaming for help and attempting to drag a woman off the road and away from the creature. The soldiers try to withdraw as the man is seen lifting the woman and trying to carry her away. Moments later a missile is seen homing on the head of the tentacled creature. The story rewinds a few days prior to the ambush. It follows Andrew, an American photojournalist helping his wealthy employer's daughter, Samantha, get back to America. In Mexico, Andrew buys Samantha a ferry ticket to return to America, but he gets drunk the night before they leave, and wakes up to find their passports have been stolen, so they have to travel by land through the infected zone. Their journey takes them across Central America and eventually back into the United States. When they finally make it back, Andrew and Samantha realize that the city they reach is abandoned. After walking along an evacuation route, the two find an abandoned gas station. Andrew calls the police, who say the Army is in the area, and will come to their rescue. After a brief encounter with two aliens, Samantha whispers, with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to go home." The army arrives, and the screen fades to black. At this point the openning scene of the movie takes place as the army patrol is seen driving on the road at night.
