Synopsis: In the weapons safety office of the super secret Anniston Army Depot, a simple accounting mistake points to the unthinkable: a single chemical weapon has gone missing from a shipment. In the destruction chamber of an Atlanta military surplus sales facility, a single, gleaming cylinder has been found by a supervisor, who recognizes the chance to make more money in one sale than he has in a lifetime of stealing from the government. A government cop is banished to Atlanta out of Washington for fingering a senior official for corruption. A mute girl sees something in the Atlanta airport that terrifies her, and then places her life in mortal danger. Within the cylinder, a mutation is taking place with a timeline of its own. The army, the cop, the supervisor, and the girl are swept into a whirlwind story where the options become narrower as the danger increases, until each of them is left at the point of Zero Option.
