Locks two women in a race against time

When Iris Knowles is recruited to restore a hacked computer system, she’s afraid the traumatic brain injury that compromised her vision will keep her from completing the job she was trained to do. But the cybersecurity expert’s first sight of scientist Rebecca Roth instantly quells her fears, and sparks fly between the two of them.

Iris and Bec both share a similar feeling of not belonging anywhere, and must now work together on a life-and-death mission. Can the two women help each other overcome their fears and stop a deadly virus from destroying humankind?
