At her hospital in Brest, a pulmonologist discovers a direct link between suspicious deaths and the use of a drug that has been on the market for 30 years, Mediator. From her initial isolation to the media explosion surrounding the case, this story inspired by the life of Irène Frachon is a David versus Goliath battle to finally see the truth triumph.
