Chimera 13: eine tödliche Mischung aus Ebola, Hepatitis und Pest. Kurz nachdem Terroristen das hoch ansteckende Virus stehlen, wird eine Forscherin infiziert. Ihre einzige Hoffnung auf Rettung ist Derek Stillwater: Troubleshooter und Spezialist für biologische und chemische Waffen. Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt. Denn die Terroristen setzen ein Ultimatum, und das Virus wirkt innerhalb von 24 Stunden ... ES GIBT KEIN GEGENMITTEL!
In Detroit wird ein grausamer Giftgas-Anschlag verübt, bei dem zahlreiche Menschen sterben. Terroristen fordern ein Lösegeld und drohen mit weiteren Anschlägen. Troubleshooter Derek Stillwater steht unter Zeitdruck, um eine noch größere Katastrophe zu verhindern.
Neznámy páchateľ, ktorý sám seba nazýva "Had" – z veľkej časti preto, lebo má pocit, že to znie ako z akčného filmu a rád sa vidí ako veľký akčný hrdina – vypustí skoro ráno do reštaurácie v centre Detroitu nervovoparalytický plyn sarín. Zabije ním vyše päťdesiat nevinných ľudí. Krátko nato sa ozve s požiadavkou na milióny dolárov, inak svoj útok zopakuje v ešte väčšom meradle. Kým sa miestna pobočka FBI stihne rozhýbať, na scéne sa objavuje Derek Stillwater, ktorý – aj napriek polenám, ktoré mu hádže pod nohy miestny veliteľ – sa spojí so svojráznou agentkou a pustí sa po stope, ktorá nikomu nepripadá dostatočne zaujímavá. Ženú ho bolestné spomienky na tragédiu, ktorú spôsobila japonská sekta Óm Šinrikjó, keď vypustila sarín do tokijského metra. Je rozhodnutý za každú cenu zastaviť ďalší útok.
