The society was enveloped in fear brought by the virus, and anything related to Heping Hospital was regarded as a dangerous source of infection.

Luo Shikai, the official from the Taipei City Health Bureau at the time, was caught between politics and medical ethics, skills, and resources. How could he assist everyone in the hospital to escape the virus's pursuit and return safely?
