- Fifteen years from now, a new virus sweeps the globe. 95% of those afflicted experience nothing worse than fever and headaches. 4% suffer acute meningitis, creating the largest medical crisis in history. And 1% find themselves "locked in" - fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. 1% doesn"t seem like a lot. But in the US that"s 1.7 million people "locked in" - including the President"s wife and daughter. Spurred by grief and the sheer magnitude of the suffering, America undertakes a massive scientific initiative. Nothing can fully restore the locked in. But then two new technologies emerge.
