Eternal life - or sudden death? Human civilization is put to the test when young chemist Caleb Lee accidentally discovers a juice formula that stops human aging. When the news leaks, the world erupts in chaos as crowds clamor for the juice. Medgar Landros, World Health Organization honcho and ex-special forces battlefield surgeon, is summoned to the White House to help respond to the juice, now named the Ponce Factor. We follow our hero Landros, Lee, and a cast of characters that includes Pastor Angela Nero, an unscrupulous minister who believes the Ponce Factor has been given to the world's elite to ensure their exclusive place alongside God. This road leads to profound questions about our world. As Nero's plot approaches culmination, Landros plans desperate action of his own after he concludes that the government's inept response is leading the world to destruction and Pastor Nero and her followers to immortal ascension.
