In the early 23rd century, an emergency is declared on a mining station O.I. Infini when a dangerous outbreak causing people to go berserk with rage is exposed.
Whit Carmichael, a new member of West Coast SAR (Searching Rescue Team), on his first day, teleports to Infini using an illegal teleporter after West Coast HQ activates a lethal lock down to contain the crisis. Before leaving for work that day, his wife tells him to do whatever it takes to return safely.
Less than a relative hour later, East Coast SAR is informed about the outbreak and the destruction of the West Coast SAR. They are informed a payload of something from the station has been programmed by a deranged survivor to teleport soon to Earth, which will destroy the planet. The SAR is ordered to halt the payload and recover the one surviving member of the West Coast SAR, Whit. Can he find the reason for the infection and beat it against all odds? Can he return safely as per his wife's wishes?
