The insidious disease lies dormant in us all. Every host is a ticking bomb.
Each night, after tucking his young son into bed, Rye Thorburn heads out to confront the murderous disease which threatens to destroy all that it touches, and to expose the horrific truth behind it.
In the near future, there’s no escaping a neurological disorder that lies dormant within everyone. An insidious disease that awakens within its hosts without warning, and with terrifying consequences. There are no answers, no cure, and seemingly no hope. In the face of this devastating threat, society has become an enclave of autocratic leaders, invasive high-tech security, corporate propaganda, and a weary populace sick with fear and suspicion.
However, all is not what it seems. Rye and his colleague Kate Mbachi become entangled in a conspiracy that involves renowned researcher Dr. Edde Albrecht and the veiled forces that profit from misery. This leads Rye and Kate on a journey to expose a truth that is worse than the disease, and for Rye, he must decide if he’s willing to risk everything in pursuit of a future for his son.
