What happens if a young scientist bioengineers a gene and it starts killing people in New York City?
New Yorkers race against time to save the city from a genetically engineered virus.
What is this disease? Who made it? Can it be stopped?
Inside the city, its sky blackened by the fires of its funeral pyres, men and women fight to find the answers, while selfless volunteers flood in from all over the world to join New Yorkers in their fight for survival. Once in, you cannot leave.
With a quarantine of the city enforced by the Army, doctors in the ParkLab set up in Central Park try everything they can think of to cure people, and the U.S. President makes the most agonizing decision any president has ever made.

"His name is Richard Burton. He will run the medical side of things, with the Army Disease Defensive Group having the final say, of course. No offence meant to the Army, but I would like to have a civilian as my eyes and ears, as well."
