In the 1970s, a mad scientist concocted a retrovirus and proceeded to inoculate massive numbers of American gay men and Africans, beginning the AIDS epidemic. In the present, Scott Reid, the 48-year-old CEO of an immunodiagnostic research and development lab, tests HIV-positive, despite all lifestyle markers to the contrary. In fact, his test results have been misread by a distracted lab technician, but, in any case, fiction soon becomes reality. On a fishing trip to the Netherlands Antilles, Scott uncovers evidence of secret offshore funds and investment scams involving a U.S. senator. Also on board is a young mob-connected physician, Nicki Graziano, who, as a favor to "the Family," which wants Scott dead for business reasons, infects the CEO with a particularly virulent strain of HIV-2 that will ensure death within a few months. Scott spends the rest of his short life tracking down his murderer and trying to convince others about the hit against him.
