The world was in terrible danger. A horrible disease was killing people off by the thousands, until the government, led by the Surgeon General, found a cure. The cure must be taken four times a day, every day, which seemed a small price to pay for your life. The government distributes the cure, controls all treatment, and keeps citizens confined in quarantine zones, all for their safety.

But when Cassandra finds herself without the cure, she will learn that the cure, and the government may not be all that they seem.

Cassandra enters the hidden world of underground doctors, forced by the government to hide their trade and serve the poor. A doctor tell Cassandra a terrible secret, one that, if acted on, will cost Cassandra her life. But is her death the price the world has to pay for freedom?
