Untouched by the world outside the serene valley, a girl is laid to rest upon a bed of once-red flowers. Her name is Rosalia Rossellini. She sleeps forever…but she is very much alive.
Monarch butterflies pay their final respects to the sleeping, dead-but-alive girl. Today they will flutter among the blue blossoms, her final resting place, but tomorrow they leave on their migration for America.
Today they find peace and refuge among her cerulean blankets, blissfully unaware of the deadly virus they hold within the golden pollen that dusts them as they fly by, touching their wings to the golden flowers.
Rosalia will never wake again. She deserves that much, for even the dead deserve a last, undisturbed peace. But one part of Rosalia, hidden deep inside of her, will never be content.
The Rosalia Virus, a deadly pathogen that lies within her blood, still seeks revenge on a world Rosalia herself experienced so little of. Hidden away in the meadow, Rosalia has no idea of the pain and destruction that she will unknowingly cause.
Tomorrow…death will strike our world.
Only a select few, brave people have the ability to defeat this deadly virus. The Trauma Team.
Six doctors. CR-S01, Maria Torres, Hank Freebird, Gabriel Cunningham, Tomoe Tachibana, and Naomi Kimishima.
Six specialties. Surgery, First Response, Orthopedics, Diagnostics, Endoscopy, and Forensics.
One goal. To save lives.
She was and Italian Mixed Race Girl, with a black mom.
She was looked down on and insulted by the residents of her town, who said she couldn't do anything.
But she never listened when it came to playing basketball, the sport that transported her away from her neighbours who humiliated her.
She dreamed to go to an American College and play in the WNBA with her best friend, but that changed one sunny night in the small southern Italian town.
The game caused her pain when she lost her best friend and knew she couldn't touch the ball again, even though she promised her friend to complete the dream of playing for the both of them.
But what happens when she is moved to Florida and put into the high basketball team thanks to the captain.
Can she face the PTSD that the game gives her of the horrific night that took away the most important person to her, or will she give up on her childhood dream and break the promise she made with her best friend seconds before she died?
