Cabin fever starts to set in as Buck tires of the sterile surroundings of the New Chicago base – and Dr. Huer and Wilma realize that Buck is nearing his birthday. As they begin to plan a surprise party for the oldest man on Earth, Lt. Garth from the New Detroit complex arrives with an urgent message: someone is hunting Huer, someone who can transform the cells in a living being’s body into lifeless silicone by touch. In order to get Buck out of the way so preparations can be made for his surprise party, Huer arranges for Buck to escort an intelligence agent to New Detroit – which puts Buck in a position to intercept Huer’s stalker…or die trying.
