John Griffin returns to work one night to find the pharmaceutical lab he manages engulfed in flames. When he and two coworkers confront the executive who ordered the fire, they learn that they had been researching a disease that is more profitable without a cure. To ensure they won't interfere with profits, the executive has them placed on the government's terrorist kill list. On the run, John and his coworkers try to develop the cure lost in the fire while the military and the CIA use the full power of the US anti-terror machine to stop them.
