As the world water wars rage across the country and water and food resources dwindle, in Colorado savant scientist Angela Starr dedicates her lab and considerable effort to research crop plant physiology for insight on how organisms survive adverse conditions in hopes of discovering disaster resistant food crops.

On the battlefield caught in the tightening noose of rampant self-destruction, Jack Jennings frantically seeks a way to prevent more self-harm while the world demands answers. Who, or what is to blame for causing this mass suicide event, what is being called Apoptocide? Amazingly Angela Starr is accused. Can she find the link between her scientific investigations and the mass casualties on the battlefield- before the world condemns her for crimes against humanity ? Author Mark Goode takes us deep into an intriguing thought experiment that quests for answers about the real world suicide pandemic. This journey inward explores is the relationships between biology, apoptosis, chaos and neuroscience describing the first ever behavioral toxin.
