Most people think the world of science is dull and boring. But in this small pharmaceutical company, the unusual converges with the unlikely to create a situation no one has ever imagined.

Roy Knox heads up Knox Pharma, and his bullying ways have netted him profit after profit. But when scientists Ian, Jane, and Brian are testing the company's newest, potentially ground-breaking formula, they discover it has some unexpected side effects. Roy's not interested in their work, however-all he cares about is money, and he wants to sell the formula off to a bigger company to save him the hassle of human testing. Ian and Jane aren't about to let that happen, and they bring hapless Brian along for the ride. It's going to get dark and dangerous, but Jane and Ian are determined to beat their crooked boss at his own game.
