Investigative journalist Jackson Seer thinks he can resurrect his failing career is by going head to head with a corrupt pharmaceutical company, and what better way to nose around than to enlist in one of their clinical trials? What he neglects to consider is how much jeopardy this might put him in, and when things fall apart, he's left grappling with the same unintended adverse effects as his fellow participants. His only hope to ever return to his normal life is a court-ordered, six-month inpatient rehabilitation program, even if it means he'll be miles away from all he's ever known. But now he's having flashbacks and seeing things and he's down half a leg, so what choice does he have?
And then, he develops a fascination with one of the other victims - tall, dark, Seif, the only one who's suffering holds a candle to his own, but also the only one who seems to appear when he's at his worst. Now, Jackson questions, will he ever be the same man he was before? Does he even want to be?
ADVERSE EFFECTS is an original work about isolation, mental illness, guilt and desire.
