The year is 2029. Taiwanese biotech billionaire Chairman Sin's ravishing heir-apparent, Violet, launches an expedition to search for a unique enzyme believed to exist in the heart of the original virus -- the ultimate antidote for the world's peculiar woes, if used properly. But it is more than a mere molecule. It is a monster whose habitat has been revealed in the newly erupted 100-mile wide volcanic cirque in Central Borneo. As the search team closes in on the creature, complications arise. The organism has commandeered an entire ecosystem to ingeniously protect itself. Species long deemed extinct come to life with a vengeance.
