Plot Synopsis
In 1981, the families of several leukemia victims in a small Massachusetts town sued Beatrice Foods and W. R. Grace, two large, powerful corporations. On their side was Jan Schlictmann, an attorney who went from small-scale cases to this massive crusade that would take a decade of his life and nearly cost him his career.
