Mike is just like any other normal kid - he lives with his mum in an ordinary house, in a small town, where nothing unusual ever happens.
His next-door neighbour is Lance Loosley, a boy who′s known at school as ′Loser′ because he′s so unpopular. Loser tells Mike that ′Tenterfield′ - the old property nearby, which was recently bought by some foreign investors is being used as a laboratory to run dangerous experiments. Of course, Mike doesn′t believe Loser for a second. He′s always concocting stories to make himself look good.
But one day at school, Loser is pushed too far by the other kids. This time the humiliation and teasing is too much, and Loser seeks revenge. He smashes a test tube in class, a test tube that he says contains a deadly virus from the ′Tenterfield′ property.
Is Loser telling the truth? Have they all driven him into becoming a killer? Will they all die from the virus?
