About this episode
A mysterious pathogen is transforming ordinary Americans into demented killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. Humanity fights back, yet after every battle, the disease responds and adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation? This epidemic is driven not by evolution, but rather by some malevolent intelligence. Standing against this unspeakable threat is a small group assembled under the strictest secrecy. Hulking former linebacker Perry Dawsey possesses an inexplicable ability to locate the disease’s hosts. Violent and unpredictable, Dawsey is the nation’s best hope and a terrifying liability. Grizzled CIA veteran Dew Phillips must somehow forge a connection with Perry if they’re going to stand a chance against this highly adaptable opponent. Working with them is Margaret Montoya, a brilliant epidemiologist who fights for a cure even as she reels under the weight of endless horrors. This trio has kept humanity in the game, but when the disease becomes contagious, it triggers a fast countdown to Armageddon. Written and narrated by #1 New York Times best-selling horror author Scott Sigler, CONTAGIOUS is Season Two of the INFECTED trilogy. All episodes are available now.
