Crisis

Teenage drug runner Cedric Beauville finds himself apprehended by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at the Canada-United States border. He is caught carrying a significant quantity of illicit Fentanyl pills, marking the beginning of a dangerous journey for him and the people involved in the drug trade.

Dr. Tyrone Brower, a research scientist, begins his study on Klaralon, a new painkiller developed by Northlight Pharmaceuticals. His research reveals alarming findings that suggest the drug becomes highly addictive after the initial week of use, posing serious risks to public health.

Despite Brower's warnings about Klaralon, Northlight Pharmaceuticals insists on moving forward with its release. Dr. Bill Simons offers Brower a lucrative research grant to silence him, but Brower stands firm in his convictions, refusing to compromise his integrity.

Faced with mounting pressure from his department head Geoff Talbot, Brower declines Northlight's proposal, leading them to publicly undermine his reputation. The consequences culminate in the revocation of his tenure at the university, forcing him to confront his moral stance.

In a bold move, Brower contacts the FDA to expose Northlight's deceptive practices. He aligns with investigator Ben Walker, determined to reveal the truth about Klaralon's dangers, cementing his role as a whistleblower in the pharmaceutical industry.

Meanwhile, DEA agent Jake Kelly is undercover, infiltrating Fentanyl drug cartels in Detroit. Driven by personal stakes in his sister's heroin battle, he aims to dismantle the operations of both the Armenian Mafia and a key Montreal kingpin, Claude 'Mother' Veroche.

News of Cedric's arrest reaches Mother, who fears he may disclose sensitive information. This leads to a calculated decision to eliminate Cedric, intensifying the already dangerous atmosphere surrounding the drug trade.

Claire Reimann's life takes a tragic turn when her son David dies from an Oxycodone overdose after hockey practice. Convinced he was not involved with drugs, she hires a private investigator to uncover the truth about his death, only to discover it was a murder linked to the drug trade.

Fueled by grief and anger, Claire embarks on a quest for justice, navigating the dark underbelly of the drug world. Her investigation leads her to Montreal, where she secures information on Mother and acquires an untraceable ghost gun in preparation for confrontation.

Jake Kelly learns of Claire's dangerous plans and intercepts her outside La Marina, intending to protect her. He expresses his concern over her reckless choices, emphasizing the perilous nature of her pursuit of vengeance against those responsible for her son's death.

The planned cartel meeting, under surveillance by a joint task force, descends into chaos due to a minor blunder. A violent shootout erupts, resulting in the tragic death of Kelly's partner, compelling Kelly to reassess the situation and his actions.

After U.S. and Canadian agencies withdraw their support in the pursuit of Mother and the Armenians, Kelly decides to take unilateral action. He races against time to prevent Mother's escape, desperate to bring justice to the drug lord before it's too late.

In a dramatic confrontation at the port, Kelly finds Claire facing Mother, leading to a tense and explosive showdown. The encounter escalates rapidly, straining the boundaries between law enforcement and personal justice.

In the aftermath of the confrontation, a chain of events results in Mother's apparent demise, prompting Kelly to cover up the incident to protect Claire. The moral complexities of his actions weigh heavily as he navigates the fine line between justice and legality.

Eventually, Dr. Brower publicly reveals Northlight's deceptive practices, a courageous act that affirms his commitment to integrity. Subsequently, he secures a new teaching position at the University of Michigan, where he shares his findings with eager students, marking a new chapter in his life.
