Kate Mitchell, a single mother of a boy with autism, once dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder and living the good life with the man of her dreams. Now, with an abusive ex-husband, escalating medical bills, and fading hope for her son's future, she decides that she has no choice but to sue the giant pharmaceutical company that she believes is responsible for her son's illness. Through a random twist of fate, the young and inexperienced lawyer, James Mouton, takes her case, and the two embark on a journey that will forever change their lives and potentially those of thousands of others affected by the growing epidemic of autism.
