unleashed by a mysterious contagion threatens the bonds of family and community
in a seemingly idyllic suburban community.
The Nash family is
close-knit. Tom is a popular teacher, father of two teens: Eli, a hockey star
and girl magnet, and his sister Deenie, a diligent student. Their seeming
stability, however, is thrown into chaos when Deenie's best friend is struck by
a terrifying, unexplained seizure in class. Rumors of a hazardous outbreak
spread through the family, school and community.
As hysteria
and contagion swell, a series of tightly held secrets emerges, threatening to
unravel friendships, families and the town's fragile idea of security.
