Dr. Ken Ardent did not vanish—he was buried alive by the state he tried to save. Once a famous geneticist in his previous life, Ken is now a ghost in the submerged maze beneath Amsterdam, leading a handful of outcast scientists who are themselves experts. Their bodies have been irreversibly rewritten, holding a feared secret: the cure for immunity. When the virus he has long foreseen brings devastation to Europe, Ken is the continent's most sought-after man. The same people who put him away as a criminal now scour the underwater canals, praying to catch his work. But his suggested remedy is a double-edged sword—to reveal it is to sign his people's death warrant. Traitor from within and pursued by an unstoppable inspector who sees not a cure but a biological weapon, Ken is driven to the brink. He must decide between protecting the only family he has left behind, or unleashing a discovery that can save the world—or complete its destruction. In a town where all gossip is heard and all friends can be enemies, the only thing more contagious than the plague is the truth.
