Keycode Sleeping Beauties

What would happen if women disappeared? In a future so real and so close that it could be the present, the following paradox begins to occur: When women sleep, they wrap themselves in what looks like a cocoon and… never wake up again. If one tries to tear the web, they react with unimaginable violence. In the small town of Dooling, a virus spreads through a women's prison infecting all but one of the inmates, Eve Black. Is IV a medical anomaly to be studied or a demon to be slain? Driven by their primal urges, the men split into warring factions. Some want to kill Eve, others to save her. But what they don't know is that women, after falling asleep, open their eyes to a whole new world... Don't wake them up!
