Based
on a true story, The Cure begins when Dr. Bernard Clouseau is about to
receive Canada's highest award for developing a surgical cure for
breast cancer after years of research. The New England Journal of
Medicine is publishing the results, bringing much fanfare to his little
hospital. The night he accepts the award, he is found brutally murdered
in his office. The next day, staffers discover the records containing
the key to his work are missing. What they don't know is that the notes
for a secret, drug-based study that resulted in total remission have
also disappeared.
Carol Anderson, a former clinical trial examiner for the National
Cancer Institute, is asked to suspend her work developing
community-based breast cancer programs to find his notes and determine
their validity. She reluctantly teams up with Office of Research
Integrity investigator Thomas Christian, her former medical school

who
has become
a thorn in her side. Their challenge escalates when the editor of the
Journal retracts his endorsement of Dr. Clouseau's trial, rendering his
life's work worthless.
Together,
they track down key members of Dr. Clouseau's team, now spread across
North America, not aware they they are being closely followed by
mercenaries in the employ of a powerful pharmaceutical company that
learned of the second study. One by one, the people they meet are
killed in a series of “accidents.” When Carol and
Thomas
discover Dr. Clouseau's secret, their pursuers close in to eliminate
them.
The
Cure exposes the dark side of breast cancer research and the
corporations that profit from a continuous stream of new drugs. While
they race toward the secret, Carol and Thomas discover there is more
behind the
“quest for a Cure” campaigns than they could ever
imagine.
The prospect of their own deaths looms as they struggle to stay one
step
ahead of the killers who will stop at nothing to keep the formula from
ever reaching the public.
