| Publisher Description: It's the summer of 2030. A wonderful new digital technology called the Stream is coming to Long Island. That's not all they're getting. This is the true account of a biomedical disaster that will decimate the island in the most terrifying way imaginable. After the unexplained death of their newborn son, experimental biologists Lyssa and Ramon Stemple find themselves at the center of a brutal murder investigation involving one of their employees at the controversial animal research laboratory they operate. The case takes a shocking twist when the slaying is linked to a deadly new virus sweeping Long Island. At first believed to be a variant of the rabies ravaging the native animal species, the full extent of the epidemic soon becomes apparent. The Stemples are blamed for intentionally creating a virus which will destroy the Stream. As they attempt to flee the human scourge and their unjust persecution, their six-year-old daughter Cassie begins to show the first signs of infection. Desperate to save her, one of them will attempt a treatment so radical, so unthinkably horrific, that it will render the Apocalypse itself inconsequential.
