Résumé :
We all make mistakes. But what if you'd made a mistake that endangered the earth and everyone on it? How far would you go to fix what you'd done? In the standalone finale of redemption and technology-gone-wrong, inventor Storm Freeman has one final chance to take back the device she gave to the world. The Gatherer delivers free, infinite energy along with an illness never seen before and with no known cure. Afflicted herself, Storm is returning to the compound where she created the device to put an end to the suffering she caused. But when she encounters a Gatherer so corrupted from her original design that she hardly recognizes it, she'll need all her strength and that of those around her, to finally stop the lethal device she created....
