This film follows oncologist Dr. Carl June as he takes on the impossible: finding a cure for cancer. Despite suffering a series of harrowing personal setbacks and constant resistance from the scientific community, June and his team struggle to develop a revolutionary treatment for leukemia. All of June’s research and work are on the line when 5-year-old Emily Whitehead becomes the first child to enroll in his trial. Not at all a cut-and-dried science story; the people are always at the heart of it.
