A covert government agency funds a project to develop a live virus, a Nano-Technology based truth serum, in response to 9/11. The virus, Veritas PVH 13, removes a subject's ability to deceive, but with severe side effects. When it's tested on enemy detainees, it mutates, killing both prisoners and researchers. Ten years later, a group of college students discover the buried secret while on an extra credit assignment, exploring the mysterious Passion Valley Hospital in New Mexico.
