Twenty years ago, Dr. John O'Leary was completing research on what he thought was a cure for the common cold while a co-worker, Sa Reshdi, was investigating the deadly ricin toxin. Their research was funded by DARPA, a division of the Department of Defense. Unknowingly, they were both working on the ultimate biological weapon for the United States until Sa switched sides and took the weapon with him. Today, Jack Griffin is a virologist at the Hoffman Institute in Southern California working on a new cure for the cold virus under the direction of Professor O'Leary. As a favor to his neighbor, Jack investigates the dealings of her brother, Brandon. Jack finds himself pulled into a world of bio-terrorism as he determines that the company Brandon is working for has been growing an extremely infectious and deadly virus. With the help of a co-worker, Jack tracks the production of the virus to a secret facility outside of town. With time running short, Jack must sneak into the facility to destroy the virus and save Southern California from a terror the citizens would never know.
