He and Camila, two young interns, are thrust into a world where they must stop the mosquito drones or his dream of becoming a scientist will be shattered.

It all starts with an explosion and the death of their beloved mentor. With little to go on aside from a flimsy conspiracy theory, Travis and Camila follow this thread to reveal a plot hidden in the operating documents of a corporation to take over the world one drone bite at a time.
