| Annabelle Murphy has just recently returned to a producer job at Key News after dealing with her husband's mental state and her two twin children. One of the episodes she has been producing for the morning show has been detailing certain illnesses that can be life-threatening. And then one of the dangers mentioned comes to life. One of her very close friends dies with symptoms of Anthrax poisoning. Slowly, more people show signs of this horrible contamination, and the whole Broadcast Center must be shut down, with the killer still in the building. | ||
