The Long View

Dr. Carson Breed is an infectious disease research specialist recounting a time of a deadly pandemic sweeping across the world. Pressured by upper echelons, the doctor and his team race against time to find a cure or vaccine to stop the spread of the disease. Testing random individuals for possible antibodies to the virus, they seize upon a small boy, Gannon. Gannon is a profoundly autistic ward of the state, currently in institutional care. To synthesize a vaccine as quickly as they need it, Breed realizes he would have to take more blood and tissue samples than any one individual could give - and survive.
