When graduate student Decklan "Dek" Thomas is seriously injured in a lab accident while using the equipment belonging to scientist Lauren Summers without permission, everything changes. His body heals faster, his hearing and eyesight are better, and he can run like the freaking wind! After he learns Lauren has also been changed, and the two scramble to uncover what has happened to them, they soon realize their lives could be in danger--by the "virus" coursing through their veins and someone who wants to silence them ... permanently. Never could they have predicted that the journey ahead would reveal a powerful enemy, a friend's betrayal, and dark secrets which, if word got out, may have dire consequences for all mankind.
