Perry non è l'unico contagiato, e le persone che ospitano i parassiti, molecole d'ignota provenienza, cedono a una folle paranoia che le conduce a scorgere ovunque macchinose cospirazioni, fino a portarle in poco tempo all'omicidio o al suicidio. Gli Stati Uniti hanno forse subito un attacco batteriologico che rischia di condurre la nazione all'autodistruzione? La CIA, allertata dall'epidemiologa Margaret Montoya, indaga segretamente, ma ha bisogno di un sopravvissuto per osservare da vicino questa strana e nuova malattia. Il compito di trovarlo spetta all'agente Dew Phillips. Perry è la preda perfetta per Phillips, e mentre il primo ingaggia una furiosa lotta contro i parassiti ormai in grado di interagire con il suo cervello, il secondo inizia a capire con sempre più chiarezza quale sia il loro mistero. Perry è nelle mani della CIA, ma questo non è sufficiente a proteggerlo: i parassiti, quasi fossero esseri senzienti, si rivelano una minaccia per l'intera umanità, e a Phillips non resta che fermarli per cercare di salvare il mondo in cui vive.
