Lowell was recently convicted and scheduled for cryogenic freezing and he injected himself with a virus. Although the virus I no threat, as it is a harmless form, the computers running the cryogenic system reacts to the discovery and stops Lowell's process. The computer detects that the virus is present in other already frozen convicts and unfreezes them as well. Lowell and the other convicts take control of the cryogenic facility and they take Jake as one of their hostages. Recent upgrades to the computer system include the fail safe plan to sterilize the cryogenic facility, which will kill everyone that is not frozen. Jake must find a way to save everyone, even if that means they may be scared to death.
