OncoLogic CEO Dr. Bryce Blanchard’s daughter, Katie, lay dying, stricken with the same merciless cancer that had taken her mother years before. The small plastic infusion bag in his jacket pocket was Katie’s last hope. Experimental and unproven, it could save her or steal what little time she had remaining.
The law says, he must do nothing.
But when is doing nothing, doing harm?
What if it was your child?
What started for Bryce Blanchard as a desperate act to save his daughter, spirals wildly out of control. One despairing patient leads to another and another. These seeming miracles bring intense media coverage.
A local Seattle billionaire will pay anything to save his son.
With his army of lawyers, a big-pharma CEO schemes to acquire the secret cure. To commercialize it and offer it to the world? Or to bury it and protect their corporate profits?

Should he risk millions of future lives by today illegally saving a few?
What does it mean to do no harm?
On the run, besieged by media, desperate patients and parents, and doggedly pursued by a relentless big-pharma CEO, Bryce is about to come clean when an unforeseen side effect changes everything.
