Dr. Cade Ashton looked over the scene below. The unnatural, intense green of the Potomac stared garishly back at him. His mission sounded simple. Find the source of the latest infection.

Dr. Frank Goya, who isn't who he seems, and Marla the journalist turned temporary scientific photographer try to help Cade find the source of what has killed several people. If they can't, more people will die.
