At the same time the National Health Service needs to make billions in efficiency savings, half the population of Great Britain are either overweight or clinically obese. As nobody wants to give up their lifestyle of convenience, and capitalism continues to profit from the saturated fats of processed food, something has to give. Senior Consultant of Bariatrics, Doctor Sahara Scarseed, believes she has patented a product which will save the NHS and revolutionize the face of dieting forever. Yet the Queen Victoria Hospital have dismissed her on grounds of malpractice, due to the non-consensual tests she has performed on her patients, and have labelled her "arrogant, dangerous and incompetent". Once the brilliantly gifted but psychologically unstable Sahara manages to acquire financial backing, from the mysterious billionaire owner of the insidious Vicovex Corporation, she is ready for the clinical trials of her new patent. That was a month ago and there is now silence from the laboratory that both Scarseed and her human test subjects are locked inside. Just what has happened to everyone inside the monolithic medical research building called The Facility? And how far has Scarseed gone in order to get her new medication to market? Dark characters, narcissism, greed, benevolence, vengeance, saddening loss, forbidden love and the visionary brilliance of a psychotic doctor.
