When an unknown epidemic hits Hackenby Lodge care home, illnesses of the residents become amplified leading to many deaths.

With the discovery of a possible contaminant in their medication by the resident nurse, a small group within the home discovers that their illnesses are too becoming amplified, but not leading to their death, but to powers beyond their wildest dreams.

But who is behind the Epidemic, and can they be stopped before it spreads throughout the city?
