Infected

Synopsis of Infected

In his nearly thirty years of service in the CIA, agent Dew Phillips had never seen anything like it. There are isolated cases of extreme violence for no apparent reason. Ordinary citizens become brutal murderers and attack their friends, family, even their own children. Symptoms include paranoia, schizophrenia, and aggressive behaviors. For epidemiologist Margaret Montoya, this case is the biggest challenge of her career. Both will be immersed in a race against time to end such a strange epidemic before the media uncover the news and panic spreads throughout the country. For Perry Dawsey, it all starts with severe itching and strange triangular blue bumps that appear under his skin. In reality, they are microscopic parasites that try to control their host by manipulating their hormone levels and flooding their body with neurotransmitters, which causes an increase in aggression. Perry also experiences the same symptoms as everyone else, except for one nuance: he is already a violent psychopath. But now he must use all his self-control to keep his aggression at bay and get rid of the triangles before it is too late.
