Premise

Amid a global pandemic caused by a mysterious disease, Edward Benevic, a disgraced microbiologist, seeks refuge within the last institution willing to harbor him. His sole obsession is the ailing man lying beside him, who happens to be his mentor, Novels. Edward lacks the resources he once had when he initially uncovered the enigmatic parasite responsible for the outbreak. Now, he faces a daunting challenge: maintaining Novels' deteriorating health until the highly restricted vaccine arrives. This desperate mission comes at a high cost, causing a rift between Edward and his wife and son. As the world crumbles outside, Edward plunges deeper into the secrets of the IASP pathogen, realizing that its horrifying symptoms may be more than just physical in nature.
