The Carrion Disease plagues more than one-third of the world's population, including Cole Rite, tying them to a monthly medical regiment solely produced by Maddox Pharmaceuticals. The heir of Maddox Pharmaceuticals, Sadler Maddox, has a plan to destroy the chains that hold those with the disease(formally called Carriors) and that includes Cole Rite, his best friend and look-alike, as the guinea pig. After one night of club hopping, Sadler repaying Cole for a rather hard dose the day before, the two are attacked on the streets, sending the duo to the hospital. With Sadler in a coma and Cole an exact look alike for the young billionaire, Darien Maddox--Sadler's father--makes a deal with Cole to take his son's place until he awakens. Suddenly, Cole has all the power in the world, and it appears as though he was finally cured of his disease. Only, the cure seems to come with some side effects that seem to have changed Cole physically. He feels superhuman. Still wanting answers on the attack that put the real-Sadler in a coma, Cole decides to use his new found powers to get them. Only thing is, the public takes him as a vigilante, a hero, and what he finds might be more than he can handle.
