Alan Wells hides from his ugly past but seeks redemption in Mexico. John Wickliffe blies his corporate status and tries to save the rainforest one tree at a time. Agent Madison Morgan is reprimanded by the FBI and sent to do deskwork in the middle of nowhere Texas for the Office of Homeland Security. A smuggler with a past, an environmentalist with an agenda, and a loose cannon with a chip on her shoulder come together with the fate of humanity between them. An epidemic rages on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Nuevo Laredo has been quarantined, but it is only a matter of time before the disease spreads north across the border. Agent Morgan investigates the terrorist implications of the disease and its sudden appearance, while Wickliffe drinks a toast to Mother Nature's revenge against humanity. All this time Alan stands in the eye of the storm, unaffected by the disease, and his immunity draws attention from all the wrong places.
