It was business at usual for Mac at Ridgewood Veterans' Hospital in Brooklyn. The new hire was good to look at, and she had found others of like mind who wanted to fix part of the world's problems. Life has a tendency to throw hard times at you, but you worm through them and keep on trucking. Her plans were not going to be derailed. Until they were by a virus that swept through the city, taking out the good and the bad with no discrimination. From the religious to the amorale, all are soon afflicted and must make their way to the now overflowing hospitals in the hopes that people like Mac can save them.
