Plot synopsis by AsianWiki: In February 2020, a luxury cruise ship carrying 3,700 people arrived at the port of Yokohama. A passenger, who disembarked in Hong Kong, was confirmed to have the new coronavirus. Since then, the coronavirus has spread rapidly on the cruise ship. More than 100 passengers are complaining of symptoms. The DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team) is called to the port to intervene. DMAT specializes in responding to natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. They have neither the experience nor the training to deal with new viral outbreaks.

Hideharu Yuki (Shun Oguri), who is a leader of DMAT, and government official Nobutaka Tatematsu (Tori Matsuzaka) are running the cruise ship situation at headquarters. Doctor Yukiyoshi Sendo (Yosuke Kubozuka) and members of DMAT, including Haruto Sanada (Sosuke Ikematsu), decided to board the ship to deal with the situation.
