The Trinity Four huddle in their sterile mansion prison, monitored around the clock by doctors who cannot cure what flows through their veins. Two months have passed since ShadowStrike contaminated Trinity Falls' water supply, and these teenagers absorbed the worst of the toxin. Scientists across four continents work desperately to reverse the damage while the teens remain quarantined far from home. Beyond the mansion walls, U.S. agents hunt the bioterrorist cell responsible for the attack. Two infected teens join the fight from their computers, tracking ShadowStrike through digital networks and encrypted channels. But the original poisoning was only the beginning. ShadowStrike has created something far worse than their first weapon, and the Trinity Four have become primary targets. The terrorist group needs these particular victims to complete their next phase, a designer virus engineered to surpass their previous creation in lethality. The teens must survive both the poison already destroying their bodies and the killers closing in around them.
