Martin Siedler has a very steep career. As a successful press officer in a leading pharmaceutical company, he enjoys the trust of his boss Walter Lange. What Martin is unaware of, however, is that his company's supposed wonder drug, for which he beats the big drum, is lethal. The moment his wife Sabine surprises him with the news of her pregnancy, Martin discovers a secret internal study. His boss is obviously fully aware of the dangers of the drug.
How should Martin deal with his secret knowledge? Will his wife support him if he brings the issue to public attention, thereby risking everything? It is only when Martin tries out the drug himself and realises its dangers that he is prepared to take up the fight.
