The Withering

In the early 1600s, a mysterious disease begins to burn through the small French Town of Bastion.

Out of ideas, Father Martin Donadieu summons the leading medical experts of the day in hopes they may find a cure: a pair of plague doctors.

When the physicians arrive to brave the town’s quarantine and get to work, they quickly discover this is no ordinary ailment and that their medical training has left them woefully unprepared to combat the illness spreading around them.

Together they must race to discover the source of the town’s sinister corruption before the disease spreads to others, and themselves. Left unchecked, all the citizens of Bastion will surely succumb to the disease they have so aptly named The Withering.
