Dr Richard Lockman encounters Caroline Denaro's out-of-body self at her former home and lab. She pleads with him to help her. Rick's friend Cole Calloway has rented the home from Genetechnic. Rick is so consumed with the need to try and help Caroline, that he works feverishly researching all he can into ghosts, afterlife, etc. Rick has gone as far as outbidding Cole for the house. After two weeks totally consumed by his research, Cole finds Rick looking feverish and exhausted. Jason Stratton is a medical doctor and friend of Cole and Rick. Jason fears Rick is suffering from pneumonia and admits him to the hospital.

Having left the hospital, Rick is in Caroline's home and she shows him where her research material is hidden. Unknown to Caroline a plant virus had infected one of her specimens. But Rick, who specializes in plants, immediately recognizes the virus and begins to suspect that it isn't pneumonia that has made him so ill.
