Features: Along the coast of the Pacific Northwest, people mysteriously die in the water or on the shore. Marine microbiologist Gana is sent to investigate and initially suspects that the seawater may contain toxic microorganisms. Dr. Ellie, who has witnessed many tragedies, steps forward to assist Gana in finding the real killer: the eukaryotic dinoflagellate, a rapidly reproducing deadly microorganism. It is a remnant from the U.S. military's development of biological warfare weapons during the Cold War, which entered the ocean 20 years later and caused widespread harm. The situation is extremely urgent, as the eukaryotic dinoflagellate has formed large colonies on the surface, releasing toxic fumes, devastating all life in its path. An impending superstorm is highly likely to push it towards the coast, directly toward Seattle, with the toxic fumes even threatening to invade the interior of the United States. A catastrophic disaster is imminent, and Gana is historically thrust into the center of a groundbreaking biological warfare campaign to undertake an almost impossible task.
