Sinopsis

Alex Weaver is a rising star in a prestigious Jacksonville, Florida law firm. After being hand-picked by his firm's most influential partner to work on a case that will make or break his career, Alex's world is turned upside down. An international drug company has paid millions to a research physician for the patent rights to the greatest medical breakthrough in modern medicine----an experimental drug that purports to cure AIDS. Before the ink on the deal is dry, a group of the physician's former patients file a class action lawsuit against the company to void the contract, claiming that the physician surreptiously used their DNA to develop the drug without their consent. Under the watchful eye of his client, Alex sets out to find the one person whose DNA actually led to the cure. But the drug's inventor isn't talking.....he's dead and all of his research files have been destroyed. With billions at stake, Alex's search for the truth leads him on a path of deception that threatens not only his career, but also his life.
