Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino, Academy and Golden Globe Award winner Anjelica Huston and Stephen Dorff star in this nail-biting tale of action and intrigue about members of an elite undercover team who race against time to locate the source of a deadly virus threatening the lives of millions of Americans.
Former secret agent and disease specialist Colonel Jonathan Smith works for Covert One, a top-secret American intelligence agency made up of political and technical experts. Their brief: to fight corruption and conspiracy at the highest and most dangerous levels of society.
When three US soldiers stationed in Afghanistan succumb to an unknown Ebola-like virus, the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) moves into action. As the death toll mounts and the virus spreads, Smith's fiancée, Dr. Sophie Amsden, succumbs to the illness. Smith soon discovers evidence that Sophie's death was not an accident. The pandemic was planned.
Meanwhile, the US President goes into damage control, fearing her administration will be blamed for causing the outbreak. She orders all evidence of the secret bio-weapons program, Scimitar, to be destroyed, but learns the program has been compromised. Samples of the Scimitar virus have surfaced on the black market and are now in the hands of a terrorist organization. Smith and his Covert One operatives, Klein and Addison, go undercover to locate rogue agent Rachel Russell, who disappeared after an undercover buy of the virus went wrong and two men were killed.
Smith heads to Afghanistan to find the source of the virus and stop it before more innocent lives are lost. But is he too late?
