At 3:00 a.m., a mysterious airliner appears off the coast of Southern California; it has no identifying markings whatsoever. It is forced to land at the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar, where Marines discover twelve comatose people on board. Each has an odd attachment on the left arm. They are not dead, but it is difficult to understand how they are alive. This discovery sets in motion a series of events to stop the world in the future from dying off from viruses brought from the past. Only one man can stop what he began: the death of billions of people, known in its time as the Omega Syndrome.
