Dr. Derek Singh is sure that one of planet Victoria's millions of venomous insects holds the key to destroying cancerous tumors-and jumpstarting his stalled career. Unfortunately, the traps he sets each night capture nothing but dust, and his competitive colleagues don't share the venom they've collected.

Derek worries she'll be bitten or stung, but soon discovers Mia is in danger from a far larger predator-the corporation that funds him.
