No one knows how it started. Domestic animals began to go wild, reverting to their primal states and lashing out at their owners. Felicia Owens, CDC scientist in Los Angeles, was attacked out of the blue by her cat. Now, Felicia is fighting bouts of irritability, anger, and outright primal rage. When others begin acting in a similar way, Felicia realizes that she needs to figure out what’s going on and how to cure it before it’s too late. Maybe it already is.

Fortunately, the doctor confirmed that Kirk was going to pull through with only minor damage to his lungs. 


“How did you even know that we were in trouble?” Felicia was sitting with Eddie in the hospital cafeteria, Hank was staying with Kirk, who was still out for the count.

“Sabine didn’t, and look what happened to her, she was shot and almost killed because of me. From now on, I’m not involving anyone else but myself.”
