A year's passed, and America's moved on in the aftermath of the GOD Plague. Kate and Trevor have begun a new life—together—in Atlanta. When Kate explores their options for adopting a puppy, she uncovers a new breed of black marketeers preying on a population still recovering from a mix of heartbreak and fear. But the dog-fueled black market Kate goes undercover to dismantle is only one interest of a deadly cartel.

Meanwhile, tensions between China and the U.S. have escalated again. Making good on its latest threats, China uses inoculated roaches, seeded randomly inside shipping boxes, to transport its newest bioweapon—a 30,000-year-old virus discovered in the thawing Arctic permafrost—through U.S. ports of entry. When people begin dying, it falls to Trevor in his new role at the CDC to find out what the virus is, how it got here and how to stop it.

Stakes turn personal when Kate contracts the modified paleovirus. But Trevor's efforts to save her are thwarted when the retribution-seeking cartel targets him, Kate, their golden retriever Buddy, and the mother dog and her puppies they're fostering.

If the cartel succeeds before Trevor can engineer a way to stop the ancient megavirus, then Kate dies, China wins—and an American bio-pocalypse will begin.
