For microbiologist David Beauregard, luminary in plague research, only one thing matters in his life: his family. After emigrating from the US to Iceland, family life seems perfect. He and his wife Sarah take on a research assignment at the University of Reykjavik and also looking forward to raising their daughter Lisa in the most peaceful country in the world.

But David is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and the few months he has left are marked by severe psychoses. No longer willing to watch his family suffer and break from his violent hallucinations and paranoid delusions, he decides to sail out and shoot himself.

At the last second, he encountered a boat in distress. The crew, a young Icelandic family, is dead and shows symptoms of plague. The Black Death off the coast of Iceland? It is impossible. The only pathogen is safely stored in his institute.

But when he passes a cruise ship that turns out to be a floating grave with even more dead, he realizes that an out-of-control disease is raging at home – seemingly without any antidote. Immediately, he returns home. Only it is too late. Patreksfjördur, his home port, is extinct and Sarah and Lisa have disappeared without a trace.

At the mercy of his psychoses, he begins a desperate search for his family. But reality threatens to merge with fiction. He must realize that the real danger is not out there, but inside him, and that he will soon have to face a cruel truth.
