A mysterious pathogen is transforming ordinary Americans into demented killers, psychopaths driven by a terrifying, alien agenda. Humanity fights back, yet after every battle, the disease responds and adapts, using sophisticated strategies and brilliant ruses to fool its pursuers. The only possible explanation? This epidemic is driven not by evolution, but rather by some malevolent intelligence. Standing against this unspeakable threat is a small group assembled under the strictest secrecy. Hulking former linebacker Perry Dawsey possesses an inexplicable ability to locate the disease’s hosts. Violent and unpredictable, Dawsey is the nation’s best hope and a terrifying liability. Grizzled CIA veteran Dew Phillips must somehow forge a connection with Perry if they’re going to stand a chance against this highly adaptable opponent. Working with them is Margaret Montoya, a brilliant epidemiologist who fights for a cure even as she reels under the weight of endless horrors. This trio has kept humanity in the game, but when the disease becomes contagious, it triggers a fast countdown to Armageddon.

Season 1: INFECTED — Across America, a mysterious disease is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families. Working under the government’s shroud of secrecy, CIA operative Dew Phillips crisscrosses the country trying in vain to capture a live victim. With only decomposing corpses for clues, CDC epidemiologist Margaret Montoya races to analyze the science behind this deadly pathogen. She discovers that these killers all have one thing in common – they’ve been contaminated by a bioengineered parasite shaped by a complexity far beyond the limits of known science. Meanwhile, Perry Dawsey – a hulking former football star now resigned to life as a cubicle-bound desk jockey – awakens one morning to find several mysterious welts growing on his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting and thinking strangely, hearing voices telling him to do bad things. The fate of the human race may well depend on the bloody war Perry must wage with his own body because the parasites want something from him that goes beyond mere murder. Perry Dawsey is infected. He is infected with a disease that thinks, a disease that talks, and if he’s lucky, he’ll die before it becomes a disease … that walks. Written and narrated by #1 New York Times best-selling horror author Scott Sigler, INFECTED is Season One of the INFECTED trilogy, a fiction podcast that scratches deep below the surface.
