Hence, NYPD detective Matthew Davis and his colleagues step in to stop the effects of the epidemic by putting everything at risk - including their lives. Eventually, they uncover the secrets of the organization responsible for the outbreak and its classified Project Salvation, bit by bit.
If they stay alive, that is.
