His visit to an ex-lover who is dying of AIDS in a hospital sets into motion a turbulent chain of events that drops Brad into the very center of a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical coverup. Brad channels his supernatural abilities and uses his power to fight the villainous heads of ChamberMed and TK BIO, the two pharmaceutical superpowers who jointly control the only other promising cure for AIDS. When the two pharmaceutical giants discover that there is a man whose blood can cure AIDS they move fast to protect their interests. With two contracts on Brad's life, his friends, his friends and loved ones kidnapped, the chase begins, ending at the sprawling TK BIO complex where the strongest emotions in the universe cause a spectacular showdown between good and evil.
