Jump on for a wild and often comic ride as Virginia and her thorn-in-the-side over-sexed admirer, investigative journalist Bruno Turchi, hopscotch from calamity to near global catastrophe – clumsily and inadvertently ending up in the crossfire between the feuding sides – as they unravel a web of clues to figure out who's taking drastic and violent measures to obtain the monster bacteria and what they plan to do with it.
