Jeanna Giese was fifteen when a bat bite left her infected with rabies, a virus with essentially no survival rate once symptoms appear. Four years on, doctors and researchers revisit her case as the first documented recovery from rabies without the standard post-exposure vaccine series. The film walks through the Milwaukee protocol, the experimental treatment that put Giese into an induced coma to give her immune system time to fight the virus before it destroyed her brain, developed and administered by physician Rodney Willoughby. Interviews with her medical team explain why the case stunned virologists worldwide and how it forced a rethink of a disease long treated as a certain death sentence. Giese herself appears, describing her recovery and the lasting physical effects she still lives with. The film also follows other patients who attempted the same protocol afterward with mixed results, keeping the story honest about how rare and unreplicated her survival remains.
