Gary's best friend is dead from an unknown disease of Gary's creation. Human antibodies do nothing against the alien virus and it spreads to an epdiemic within days. Thousands of people are infected. Death is quick, painful, and gruesome. Gary and Cherie share the guilt for bringing this into the world but, in an odd twist of fate, he is also the only one who can slow it. To stop it and save the human race, they have to finally confront The Anomaly. Dragged into this along their own paths are a Cisco, a priest; Debbie, a church secretary; Bill, a defrocked pastor; Daniel, a hedge fund manager; Amy, an attorney; and Michaela, an FBI agent. They are not working toward the same goals or even on the same side. But they are forced together to work toward the common good--if they can figure out what that is.
