Summary
Sebastian Morris Reid has lived as a recluse for most of his 28 years. The self-imposed isolation was necessary for protection, not for himself, but for the rest of humanity. He was born with an immune system that takes in, holds, then super-concentrates any bacterium or virus he is exposed to. After reaching the highest degree of virulence, the microbes are released back into the world through his bodily oils and excretions. Any direct contact with another human would, in many cases, prove fatal. His curse is being the ultimate carrier of disease.
An obscure, vigilante organization, somehow, learns of Sebastian’s condition and convinces him to join their odd band of outcasts with the promise of helping him learn to control his body’s biochemistry. The organization sets out to right the world of other underground groups that oppose equal treatment of all those afflicted with physical or mental idiosyncrasies. Using unusual and extreme tactics, the group exists to fulfill its simple mission statement: "We deal with bullies."
