When youngster Mathias Kneipff shoots dead nine pupils and two teachers at his school in eastern Belgium, his parents sue international LXR Pharma corporation. They are convinced that his horrendous act is connected to the side effects of the antidepressant drug Aspergon, which their son has recently started taking.
The claim threatens LXR Pharma’s most prestigious project: the company has just invested tens of millions in the development of a drug to extend the human lifespan, a spectacular elixir that may well change the world forever. For the first time in history it appears there is a realistic prospect of combatting Alzheimer’s and the consequences of aging.
After Isabelle Rombauts is unexpectedly appointed CEO of the family-run LXR Pharma, she is confronted with the company’s grievous malpractices. But her family denies the problem and wants to avoid a scandal. Isabelle’s attempts to expose the truth are systematically undermined. LXR’s business and image must be protected, whatever the cost. Isabelle must choose between being loyal to her family… or heeding her conscience.
