Riot-torn New York City is a dangerous place to be, especially if you're a xenofreak. The unrest is fueled by interweb speculation that xenos are not only immune to the deadly epidemic loose in the city, they're responsible for spreading it. Scott sets out to help the XIA root out the source of the rumors, while Bryn reluctantly agrees to help Mia get a xenograft - the only thing that can protect her from the contagion. When Martial Law is declared and the authorities begin rounding xenos up, the understaffed, overworked XIA agents are the only thing standing between New York's xeno population and complete anarchy.
