The film
In a remote area of Northern Kenya, the region's most dedicated
activist, the brilliant and passionate Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz),
has been found brutally murdered. Tessa’s travelling companion,
a local doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence
points to a crime of passion.
Justin
Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), a mild mannered career diplomat is devastated
by the loss of his wife. Haunted by remorse and jarred by rumours
of his wife’s infidelities, Justin surprises himself by plunging
headlong into a dangerous odyssey. Determined to clear his wife’s
name and "finish what she started," Justin embarks on
a crash course to learn about the pharmaceutical industry, whose
crimes Tessa was on the verge of uncovering, and journeys across
two continents in search of the truth. His eyes are soon opened
to a vast conspiracy of dubious drug trials, big bucks and murder.
