Synopsis
In a near future where genetically engineered tapeworms serve as personal health managers inside every human body, Sal Mitchell — who recovered from brain death thanks to her implant — begins to suspect that the parasites are evolving beyond their intended purpose. As people start behaving strangely across the country, Sal must uncover the truth about her own miraculous recovery.
