Wild Cards

Wilds Cards is an alternate history sci-fi drama based on George R.R. Martin's and Melinda M. Snodgrass's book series. An alien pathogen known as the Wild Card virus is released over post-World War II Manhattan in 1946, altering the course of human history. The virus rewrites DNA mutating its survivors. A lucky few are granted awe-inspiring superpowers, while the sad majority are left with often repulsive physical deformities.
