Sandra Silke is a CIA agent who's as tough and intelligent as she is gorgeous, and she's dedicated to the work she thinks is making the world a better place to live. Her dedication shows when she -- along with a group of five other agents -- volunteers to undergo gene therapy testing that's supposed to help find a combatant against the chemical agents of war. When the testing goes awry and the researchers discover strange changes occurring in the bodies of the test subjects, the agency decides to kill not only the test program, but its altered subjects as well. Only Sandra escapes alive, and soon finds herself wrapped in a deadly conspiracy -- framed for the murder of her fellow agents and on the run from a mysterious predator!
