Dr. Earl Garnet encounters a deadly bacteria at University Hospital--one that is killing victims who are in some way connected. A nurse dies horrifically and Dr. Garnet's own wife is gravely ill. While the surrounding community panics, the staff is quarantined--most likely with the sociopath who has masterminded the super-resistant strain and who promises to infect fifty more people immediately.
