Labeled "conman of the year" by the media, Curtis hasn't got much left, besides his life. Then he learns that to a scientist he's worth billions—dead.

When Curtis's hopes for a brighter future with his beguiling new neighbor Laura are dashed by her betrayal turning him into a murder suspect, he's positive things can't get worse—until he escapes from a rain of bullets. The reason, so Laura tells him: he carries the solution scientists will kill for in his blood—the ultimate vaccine to prevent cancer and other fatal diseases.

Reluctantly, he teams up with Laura, but when he digs up his past and discovers a disturbing truth, the reason the government-linked pharmaceutical giant wants him dead rather than use his blood to save millions of people, the web of lies and deceit grows denser.

To have a life and a future, Curtis has to have blood on his hands, though to get to the scientist, he has to trust the enigmatic Laura, but as they grow closer, her secrets could prove deadlier than the conspiracy he unravels.
