A television crew decides to make a documentary about the spread of a new, highly transmissible virus responsible for Gerber syndrome—a disease with devastating effects. Through the accounts of three people closely affected by the condition—a doctor, an infected young woman, and a young security guard—the crew discovers that no authority has ever told the truth about the situation and that the virus has already infected a large portion of the population, spreading even through a simple handshake.
