Arthur Campbell is considered one of Europe’s best virologists, a specialist when it comes to discovering and fighting new and potentially dangerous viruses. A major Swiss pharmaceutical company hires him to create a universal vaccine that can stop known and unknown viruses from attacking the human body. To accomplish this, he has 24 months to create an especially aggressive virus in his lab that unites several specific characteristics of known viruses and to fight and destroy it with a universal vaccine. His employers want him to move faster as he finds out that his employers don’t just have all the leverage, but are also willing to use violence and blackmail to achieve their means. Too late he realizes the treachery of the plan: to test the virus and the vaccine on a defenseless population. With the destruction of most of humanity already being calculated. Campbell only sees one possible way out.
