Every line of communication has stopped working. Although the CDC receives a notice, the ground crews are at a loss for words. When the call comes in, Dr. Ephraim "Eph" Goodweather, who oversees their Canary project—a quick-reaction squad that looks into biological threats—boards the aircraft. He discovers something that chills him to the bone.

Now, before it's too late, Eph, who is assisted by Setrakian and a motley gang of warriors, must to figure out how to halt the epidemic and preserve his city, which includes his wife and kid.
