Abstract:
Nothing is what it appears after a devastating injury places Matt Kenny within the confines of Slater State Hospital, an under funded, long-term care facility. Matt becomes a local medical focal point when he is unwittingly enrolled in the first-phase clinical trial of Portland Pharmaceutical’s unique investigational drug. At first, the trial results exceed all expectations, but lurking deep in the shadows, a rival drug giant, desperate to protect its billion-dollar drug-market monopoly, has initiated a ruthless plot to derail Portland’s new wonder drug. Trapped within a centrifuge of murder, betrayal and deceit, Matt stands to become Jupiter’s ultimate victim.
