In the harsh and unforgiving Arizona high desert, Joan has carved out a solitary existence, far removed from the haunting memories of her past. But even in this desolate landscape she now calls home, darkness finds a way to encroach. When Joan's only companion, her fiercely protective Rottweiler Max, begins to act out of character, her instincts warn her that something is terribly wrong.

Carrie, a young girl from a nearby homestead mired in violence and neglect, has formed an unlikely bond with Joan and Max. Her visits are fleeting and furtive, but they leave Joan with a growing sense of dread and helplessness. With each encounter, the horrors of Carrie's life become increasingly apparent, yet Joan feels powerless to intervene, her remote lifestyle offering few options for help.

When Carrie’s latest visit takes a disturbing turn, Joan’s worst fears are realized. As events spiral out of control, both woman and dog are pulled into a nightmare from which there seems to be no escape. As shadowy secrets come to light and the true extent of the horror is revealed, Joan must confront the darkness head-on—no matter the cost.

"Rabid" is a gripping tale of survival and the relentless pursuit of what’s right in a world gone mad. BTW, Max is up to date all his vaccines!
