Everything goes according to her plan, however she isn’t too certain what she should do about Ethan, a good looking guy that would like to be more than just her friend.

Her professors and classmates are equally captivated by her looks and accomplishments. Except for one student, that is. Just Jessica, who is a wealthy socialite that senses Brooke may not be everything she seems to be. However, Jessica’s got problems of her own; while fueling herself on a major case of snobbery, too many prescription pills and energy drinks.

Their investigation reveals one imminent bio-terror attack and their sole hope is to identify the terrorists that carry this disease.

With just two days left before time runs out, the FBI and the CDC race in order to prevent a pandemic. The ensuing nightmare is going to hit much closer to home than they’ve ever anticipated and one of them is going to pay an unimaginable price for protecting the country.

While Victoria pursues what little leads she has, the calls begin coming in. More victims. Each of them with similar markings. “You’ll be sorry” and “cheater”. However the corpses do not have that much in common. Victoria has to locate this deranged spree killer before the body count increases any further. What links these victims?

Then the murderer leaves behind a personal note for Victoria. Then another. What dark and deep secrets are motivating these murders? Until a common denominator is found between these victims, anybody could really be next. Including Victoria herself.
