Storyline

A laborer got infected, while cleaning up a church crypt, with the fatal pox virus, which killed him fast and could rapidly be spreading into a potentially worldwide pandemic. Professor Ian Hood assists the medical team which must at all cost be efficient enough to get results fast, but how can the virus be traced in time? As if this challenged weren't enough, he finds another scientist handles the case irresponsibly.
