Lex is a young woman going undercover, posing as her dead sister to infiltrate the mysterious medical camp of Dr. Alexander Richards. Dr. Richards is experimenting with a deadly new nanotechnology called nanites, tiny microscopic robots that are able to slip through human skin or through airborne exposure. These nanite enter the human body and then awaken at a predetermined temperature, causing deadly consequences in their hosts. The doctor has a list of targets he wants hit with these nanites and he expects Lex's help. Can Lex stop his nefarious plot and can she save the people on the list? Or is it already too late?
