Surgeons manage to save the leg, but the open wound is the perfect breeding ground for a deadly microbial invader committed to eating him alive from the inside out.

A shadowy group known as One Hundred Neighbors has infiltrated our society, using our health institutions as hostages ... and will stop at nothing to further their agenda. |
