A child is found alone in a Denny's in the middle of the night. Her identity is never discovered. Years later, now an adult she is found burning up with a fever in the Atlanta airport, and the people she had contact with start to die. She is the only one to recover and is held for over a year by the CDC. When finally given her freedom, she enters a world she no longer recognizes. With no family or friends to return to, she sets out to start her life over at the beach where the mystery surrounding her identity becomes a matter of life or death and not just for her.
