Lieutenant Colonel Eric West is the clinical director of the Combat Casualty Research Center (CCRC), an elite group of emergency physicians who provide operational medical support for the United States military, the FBI, the DEA, the ATF and the Secret Service. Deployed throughout the world on a moment's notice, Eric begins to note a series of unusual deaths.
