One pursues profit. Another pursues something far darker. Together they reset the human race — and the future we fear arrives.
When his father dies, Harry Schuller is thrust into a senior role at Schuller Enterprises Pharmaceuticals—a position he is wildly unprepared for. Dismissed as lazy and incompetent, he stumbles upon irregular payments to a shadowy contractor, JAE Consulting, and a remote research site in Texas run by the brilliant and secretive Professor Juliette Armand.
A chance encounter with Dr. Anika Patel, a rising CDC scientist who clawed her way out of the slums of New Delhi, pulls Harry into an investigation that reaches far beyond corporate misconduct.
Meanwhile, Maria Sanchez, a Mexican border crosser, wakes in a locked cell surrounded by the dying. Her guards wear hazmat suits.
As Harry and Anika race to uncover the truth—and Maria fights to survive—their paths converge on a conspiracy that spans continents and ideologies. What they uncover will shatter their understanding of humanity and the cost of survival.
In a world where lives are disposable, the line between righteousness and catastrophe grows razor‑thin.
