Plot summary

A battle for survival begins as hikers encounter a chemically imbalanced forest. The depletion of the Earth's ozone layer causes animals above the altitude of 5000 feet to run amok, which is very unfortunate for a group of hikers who get dropped off up there by helicopter just before the quarantine is announced.
