It's a race against time to identify the cause of a deadly virus, spreading rapidly and headed straight for the city. It's up to NorBAC to identify patient zero and contain the outbreak. As if a deadly virus wasn't enough, NorBAC's Chief Scientist, David Sandström must deal with the unexpected arrival of his belligerent teenage daughter, Lilith, and arguments with NorBAC's Executive Director Caroline Morrison over the security clearance of the one member of his team he'll need the most, his top virologist.
Lilith befriends Mick, who is dying and desperate for Davidto help him discover if he really is a clone and possibly save his life. Meanwhile, NorBAC has managed to locate patient zero and must proceed with the interrogations at "Hazmat City." Was this an act of Bioterrism? Caroline is determined to find out who's responsible as more die and one more is exposed. David must now face his fate.
Mick turns to Lilith, who helps him steal evidence from the scientist who cloned him, his own father. Meanwhile, Caroline suggests that Hira has possible terrorist links and shuts her out of NorBAC. David must bring Hira back. But when he does he's confronted with a rally outside NorBAC, lead by a fanatical Reverend who claims that Christ can be genetically resurrected from a Crucifixion nail. The Reverend wants him to prove it, but David's not into playing God. In the frenzy, shots are fired and someone gets hit.
NorBAC investigates an outbreak of prion disease (mad cow) in humans. The victims are spread out across North America. How are the cases connected? In the aftermath of Hiras's death, David is determined to expose the fraudulent reverend. David suspects his old friend Danny, a hockey player, is using a dangerous performance-enhancing steroid.
As the search continues for the source of the deadly prions, NorBAC zeros in on a large agribusiness they suspect of selling infected chickens. David tries to convince Danny to stop gene therapy. Caroline insists that David interview Jill Langston, for the vacated virologist position at NorBAC. His reluctance turns to lust when he meets her.
NorBAC reviews an experimental treatment being used on children with Leukemia. Just as they are about to declare the cancer therapy safe, another child dies. David disregards the proper channels and goes to Nunavut to get a sample of what he believes is the Spanish Flu virus from a frozen corpse. Mick and Lilith go whale-watching in Quebec, but Lilith begins to realize just how sick he is.
Carlos Serrano, the Senior Researcher at NorBAC wants to help a friend dying of AIDS participate in cutting edge research. He convinces David to help supply a Houston lab with contraband stem cells in order for his friend to be the first guinea pig for this radical gene therapy. When another child dies, David is determined to find out why the cancer treatment isn't working.
A major power blackout on the Eastern Seaboard leads to fears of terrorist activity. NorBAC determines that a plastic eating bacterium caused the blackout and they must stop it before more blackouts occur.

After a self-imposed exile to China, David Sandström is kidnapped by the People's Liberation Army and ordered to secretly investigate a deadly outbreak that has killed 19 people in a small village. With the help of three Chinese scientists, David discovers the outbreak has been caused by an ancient bacterium that has seeped into the village's water system. David is horrified when he learns that one of the scientists has decided to test the antidote on her self in order to expedite a cure. While David makes his way back to Canada, Caroline and Carlos are witness to a horrific attack at the site of the International AIDS Conference.
In order to help a mother and her unborn child, David starts a research to fight a very strong strain of the HIV virus which she has and for which there is no known cure.
The HIV strain that sean gave to Audrey Graves is so virulent that none of the new tri-therapy drugs work on it. They decide, then, to try a combination with any type of drugs that exist with the help of all the labs that accept the offer. Audrey Graves's baby is HIV positive and they hope to eradicate the virus with a new combination. Carlos is still searching for Patient Zero in Africa. In the mean time, NORBAC also looks at the devastating effects of pryon disease on humans via the consumption of infected chicken.
While in New York, David has his bag stolen. Chasing the kid who stole it, he finds himself in some subway tunnels where he discovers a young girl who is very sick.

David and Carlos are still investigating the poison that is affecting Charringa's lemon crops in Florida, before the United States decide to bomb Cuba. Jill, on the other hand, asks Mayko to contact all the other labs using the same stem cells from Korea to let them know a retrovirus is in that strain. Bob offers to verify all the steps one more time with her and see if her findings are correct. Simon Jessup finding that Glenn responds to all the stimuli suggests that he undergoes brain surgery.

Despite David's public statement that gmo fish has no bearing on some illnesses, the dad of a young boy is convinced that his son is ill due to eating a the mutant fish. When an entire squadron of national guard falls ill, bio-terrorism is suspected, the team must work on the case.
It seems that the retrovirus that Jill discovered in the Korean stem cells is responsible for the illness affecting the national guards, thus showing the retrovirus was reactivated. Meanwhile, kids are all coming down with a mysterious and deadly disease that Norbac has to stop.
The antidote created to cure the national guards isn't doing its job properly as the guards fall even more ill with another disease. Caroline, still investigating what Weston did, finds that the White House is mixed into it.
