About “Cure”

With her young son's neuroblastoma in remission, medical examiner Laurie Montgomery returns to work in New York City. She is assigned the high-profile case of CIA agent Kevin Markham, whose death remains unexplained. Autopsy results are unclear, and toxicology does not support her suspicion of poisoning. While colleagues doubt her theory of assassination, her husband, Jack Stapleton, supports her. Together, they uncover connections to a major pharmaceutical company and biomedical start-ups involved in stem-cell research. Laurie and Jack work to piece together the truth before they become targets in a dangerous biotech espionage plot.
