Dan Reilly, a farmer working in rural Ireland, is propositioned by a local bio-genetics firm to assist in some experiments to make faster growing cattle. He helps birth a calf with fangs, that has six womb-like organs that contain fetuses with exoskeletons. Orla, a local veterinarian, conducts the autopsy, but manages to miss seeing that one of the fetuses is still alive. John, Orla's assistant, discovers the five fetuses are made up of bacteria that replicates incredibly quickly. The missing fetal creature has the potential to infect cows as well as humans globally, causing a massive infestation of the creatures. They are now on a mission to kill the creature before it escapes the farm.
Isolation was screened at Fantastic Fest in September 2006. It received three awards at the festival: the horror jury awards for best picture and best director Billy O'Brien, and the second-place audience award behind Hatchet.
