Editor's Note:
Na newyorskom letisku pristane lietadlo. Všetky elektronické systémy v okamihu zlyhajú a piloti na výzvy riadiacej veže neodpovedajú. Po násilnom vniknutí na palubu objavia v tmavom lietadle štyroch pasažierov na pokraji života a smrti. Ostatní sú mŕtvi, ibaže ich telá sa odmietajú podriadiť biologickým zákonom rozkladu. Prípad preberá doktor Ephraim Goodweather, vedúci projektu včasného varovania a likvidácie rozsiahlych epidémií, ktorý sa súčasne vyrovnáva s rozpadom manželstva a bojuje o právo opatrovať syna. Spolu s kolegyňou Norou Martinezovou zisťujú, že nemajú do činenia s obyčajnou nákazou. Tajomstvo by mohla poodhaliť veľká vyrezávaná truhla v nákladnom priestore lietadla – lenže tá záhadne zmizla. Štyria zachránení cestujúci sa zázračne uzdravujú, traja z nich však odmietajú zostať v nemocnici na pozorovanie. V tele posledného prebiehajú nepochopiteľné zmeny a muž dostáva neukojiteľnú chuť na ľudskú krv. Keď z mestských márnic bez stopy zmiznú mŕtvoly dvoch stoviek pasažierov, Ephraim s Norou sa dostávajú do podozrenia. Nikto neverí ich presvedčeniu, že ľudská rasa je na pokraji vyhynutia. Preto proti nákaze bojujú len s pomocou starého profesora Setrakiana, prisťahovalca, majiteľa záložne, človeka s hlbokými teoretickými i praktickými poznatkami v oblasti mystiky. Netušia, že sa budú musieť postaviť protivníkovi, ktorý vystúpil priamo z legiend.
