What would you sacrifice to save humanity?

The novel confronts readers with an unsettling question: would you sacrifice the ones you love to save the collective masses?
Disgraced journalist Lain Barker is struggling to rebuild his career and protect his family when a deadly new illness begins sweeping through the population. While investigating political corruption tied to a powerful Senator, Lain is drawn into a far more dangerous conspiracy involving a virus that threatens humanity itself. With an ailing father and a family relying on him, Lain becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the disease.
At the same time, renowned epidemiologist and immunologist Dr. Karl Albertson uncovers evidence that the virus is not a natural outbreak but a deliberate act carried out by a shadowy and ruthless organization. When Albertson is framed for murders he did not commit, a covert resistance group intervenes to protect him and expose the truth. Their efforts come at a devastating cost when the doctor, poisoned by his enemies, takes his own life inside Lain’s home.
Refusing to walk away, Lain teams up with trusted detective friends, Roland and Jake. When they are brutally murdered, and Lain is framed for their deaths, he becomes a fugitive, and his family is marked as the next target. On the run, Lain joins forces with the same resistance organization that tried to save Dr. Albertson, traveling to South America in a desperate search for answers.
As the conspiracy closes in, Lain is forced to confront an impossible choice: protect his family by surrendering to evil, or expose the perpetrators and save humanity at the ultimate personal cost.
