One Jab Cures All is set in a research lab where scientists stumble on the holy grail of medicine – a cure for all diseases.
What next?
If they keep it a secret, they’ll make millions of pounds. If they share it, they’ll save millions of lives. Meanwhile the shady boss of the laboratory is planning to resolve the problem in deadly fashion.
It’s happened. The ultimate scientific breakthrough. Boffins discover a drug that heals everything.
Max is a scientist in a secret lab who stumbles on a cure for all diseases. His boss, Judy, decides to sell it privately to millionaires but Max wants it distributed free to everyone. He smuggles out a batch of samples to a nearby hospital. When his teenage daughter, Felicity, joins the rebellion, Judy orders a junior researcher, Vic, to guard her. But they fall in love and together they plot to seize control of the lab. Meanwhile Judy has a secret plan to deal with the troublemakers permanently.
Produced and written by Lloyd Evans, author of ‘Who’s the Daddy?’ and ‘Dom – the Play.’
