Pontypool is the name of a backwoods town in Canada, and shock jock Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie) finds himself exiled there after his dismissal from the city. It appears to be a typical morning on local radio when strange reports start coming in about babbling mobs rioting outside a doctor's office. Grant isn't sure if there's a real emergency going on just outside the station, or if this is a prank the locals are pulling on the new guy in town. In either case this is going to be a night Grant won't forget.
