Description: |
By making a major breakthrough in finding a cure for cancer, Dr. Frank Simmons and his student Gavin are caught up in a desperate situation. As their work is deliberately sabotaged they unearth an industry in a paradox; an industry that can only justify its existence by not curing cancer. |
Synopsis: |
Dr Frank Simmons works in the University of Edinburgh's medical school. One of his PhD students, brilliant loner Gavin, announces his intention to find a cure for cancer and actually makes a major breakthrough. Oddly, no one seems to be interested and a picture emerges of a cancer research industry caught in a desperate paradox: it can only justify its existence by not curing cancer. Disinterest soon turns to open warfare as pressure is put on Simmons and Gavin's work is sabotaged. A truly compelling story with superb dialogue and thought-provoking ideas. |
