WONDER DRUG is inspired by the true story of the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol), seen as a medical miracle to help women with pregnancy issues and one of the first cash cows for pharmaceutical companies – but which was in fact a toxic, carcinogenic drug and one of the biggest medical disasters in history, affecting millions of people worldwide. Set in Boston, Massachusetts, WONDER DRUG interweaves the lives of a Big Pharma executive, a feminist doctor, and thirtysomething newlyweds across three different decades.
