…a devastating, unstoppable outbreak that sweeps the globe, from the Brazilian rainforest to the streets of London, a plague that begins when mankind's appetite for cheap food and consumer goods brings us into contact with species that were previously geographically contained. Spanning the Brazilian rainforest to London streets, The Plague tells the story of a devastating, unstoppable outbreak that sweeps the globe.
