Eph Goodweather, dell'Ente prevenzione malattie infettive, e la sua collega Nora Martinez esaminano i cadaveri; qualunque ne sia stata la causa, la morte deve averli colti di sorpresa.

Con l'aiuto di Setrakian, Eph dovrà cercare di fermare il contagio e salvare la città prima che sia troppo tardi...
