Plot Overview
A cancer patient undergoing a radical treatment escapes from the hospital and dies in an alley. When several other people who came in contact with her also die, or come close to it, Quincy investigates and discovers that her doctor has discovered what he thinks is a cure for cancer and has a small group of patients who are being treated with his cure, which is really a deadly contagion. He must also convince the doctor not to sell his 'cure' to a major pharmaceutical company.
