Emma Caldridge is hiking through the Arizona mountains when she stumbles upon a human trafficker smuggling illegal aliens into the United States. Chased across the border, she is caught by one of the deadliest drug cartels in Mexico and is taken to the marijuana fields outside Ciudad Juarez. There she discovers there is something horribly wrong with the plants. Covered with wart-like growths they, and anyone who touches them, contract a new and virulent form of leprosy that can kill humans within seven days.
The cartel believes that the fields are infected by herbicide sprayed by the US, and it transports the diseased shipment along the North route in retaliation. Emma knows that the best chance to find a cure is in her own laboratory, and the cartel refuses to let her go. However, they agree to let her ride with the shipment, and she convinces them to break into any lab they can along the way. But time is running short, because Emma herself becomes infected, and she begins a race against time to save not only her own life, but the lives of everyone who touches the shipment.
