Jacqueline is a struggling academic. Unless she can kickstart her failed thesis, she will lose everything she's ever dreamed of.
A lucky find leads to the discovery of a lifetime--a cache of documents detailing a century-old murder. She can finish her thesis, and garner the prestige to make her career.
But as Jacqueline digs into the records, a mysterious plague strikes Sydney--identical to the mysterious illness detailed in the historical documents, causing unnatural outbreaks of violence and madness. And the man she made the discovery with--biologist Daniel O'Connor--may be the source of the infection. An ancient conspiracy surfaces, desperate to bury the ancient truth.
Threatened on all sides, Jacqueline must confront a dark legacy, or everything she knows and loves will be consumed by malevolent forces.
