Synopsis

New York, 2012. A young mother stumbles on a disturbing secret: the health system is so broken that the lives of newborns and the unborn are no longer safe. Three and a half months before her due date, Sophie Young is forced to deliver her tiny two-pound son - a baby boy barely old enough to survive. Caught in the labyrinth of hospital secrecy, Sophie meets the dark side of modern medicine: corruption, exploitation, and profiteering. When she discovers that a prominent physician has joined forces with Big Pharma to exploit pregnant women and their babies, she races to bring the guilty to justice and save her son before it's too late. In the end, Sophie has one message for her enemy: It's a law of nature - never come between a mother and her child.
