An Immortal Cell
SCIENTISTS IN SALEM ARE SEARCHING FOR A CURE AS POLICE SEARCH FOR A KILLER AMONG THEM.
What would you do to capture and keep what you most desire, what you hold most dear?
In Salem, Massachusetts, scientist Lucy Reyes learns that her life’s work, a miracle cancer drug, has a terrifying side effect. To Lucy’s horror, her unprincipled boss at Estran Laboratories intends to move forward with human trials. Lucy can’t let that happen. At the same time, a tragedy from the past is exposed when young Charlotte Tatum and her friends stumble upon human remains while exploring a haunted place. The group decide to tell no one about their gruesome discovery, but a lost phone and family connections to the victim make keeping the secret impossible. As Salem police investigate the decades-old murder, they learn that the bones belong to a young scientist whose life had changed dramatically in the months leading up to his death, and that his circle of friends included scientists working at nearby Estran Laboratories. When two more scientists are killed, police are convinced that the murders are all related.
An Immortal Cell explores the fierce and sometimes desperate drive that exists in people to protect and hold what they cherish most.
