The Cure

When Stuart Franklin, billionaire and CEO of the world’s largest pharmaceutical company, realizes he can’t remember his own phone number, it’s time to act. He enlists Dr. Richard Weigand, PhD, brilliant molecular biologist and rising star at the NIH, to help him on a new quest: cure Alzheimer’s Disease, at any cost. A homeless teen turns up dead at a New York County hospital. Her compatriot, Greg, believes she died suspiciously, but has no way to prove it. Enter Therese Edwards, who, despite leading a life out of a fairytale, just can’t find the thing that makes her happy. Medicine, teaching, architecture, now cooking with kids…all interesting, but not quite right for her. The trail’s nearly cold, but Therese is convinced that with a little effort, she can piece the story of the homeless girl’s death together. Carlo pitches in to help, and together they uncover well-guarded secrets…but instead of shedding light on the girl’s death, Therese discovers despair lurking in her own future. Now that the case is personal, the line between Therese and the dead girl is erased forever.
