About Life Support

ER doctor Toby Harper treats a delirious man with signs of a severe brain infection, only for him to disappear from the hospital. A second case reveals evidence of an infection that appears to spread through direct tissue exchange. Determined to trace the outbreak, Toby follows a disturbing chain of cases and discovers that the epidemic may be the result of a deliberate and deadly design.
