Synopsis

A pharmaceutical executive wakes up in a strange apartment and finds herself suspected of the murder of her company's CEO. Believing she's insane, or a murderer, Jillian Cooper finds herself on the run from not only the police but also gang enforcers.

Life-sustaining prescription drugs are a trillion-dollar industry, but who really knows what's hidden inside those pills and capsules? Big Pharma has a secret and it's costing thousands of lives. Prison gangs and corporate board members make strange bedfellows, but where there's money to be had, peace exists through an off-the-books Black Label drug lab. Jillian is left to unravel the company's secrets before she lands in jail or becomes another victim.
