When a homeless man dies in the trauma rooms of one of New York's busiest hospitals, no one gives it a second thought. Except for Dr. Guy Luthan who finds the symptoms which caused the death, very strange along with the fact the man was already wearing a strange hospital wrist band. As he investigates the death further, he uncovers an underground medical research program, which is headed by Dr. Lawrence Myrick, one of the countries most respected ... ...a cure for paralysis by testing medicines on homeless people. What will Luthan do about this disregard for medical and moral ethics? What will Myrick do as his secret may be revealed at the cost of his career?
This is an interesting and entertaining thriller which poses a very real question of how far should medical research go. It also allows us to see Hugh Grant step out of his comedy roles and take on the role of the inquisitive, emergency room ...

Plot: A young doctor's life and career are threatened when he uncovers the shocking details of a private medical research programme. Psychological thriller.
At New York's Gramercy Hospital, a homeless man under the care of English doctor Guy Luthan (Hugh Grant) dies in a horrific manner. Soon both the patient and his file mysteriously disappear. The puzzled Luthan is told by a superior to forget about it and move on. Undaunted, Luthan conducts his own investigation--and uncovers a scandal in which homeless people are being used as human guinea pigs in the name of science. The moral Luthan wants to put a stop to this, but doing so may cost him his career--and his life. Adapted from a book by Michael Palmer, the film marches to its conclusion with as much suspense as director Michael Apted's previous thrillers (AGATHA, GORKY PARK, and THUNDERHEART). Grant plays the charming, put-upon Englishman to perfection, while Gene Hackman and Sarah Jessica Parker provide strong supporting roles. An intelligent examination of the contemporary dilemmas in medical ethics, the film concludes with an ending that will challenge viewers' moral beliefs.
