Sam, a recent medical school graduate, studies a revolutionary cancer cure, but his dream of saving the world faces unexpected threats.

SYNOPSIS:

Sam, a dedicated medical student, becomes fascinated by LIVAX, a revolutionary pill promising to cure all diseases. After graduation, he joins CITEK, the company behind LIVAX, driven by a personal mission to succeed where his father, who died of cancer, could not. When his peers reject his ideas, Sam uses himself as a test subject, leading to financial struggles.

His girlfriend, Ana, helps him find a part-time job, but Sam turns to working as an underground doctor in a poor neighborhood to gather blood samples for his research. As his obsession grows, he loses both his job and Ana. Desperate for funds, Sam joins a local gangster, Gordo, as the gang's personal doctor.

When LIVAX begins to take effect, Sam develops schizophrenia, creating a violent alter ego, Shadow Sam. He kills Gordo and other gang members, drawing the attention of Detective Mac Cullen. As Cullen investigates, he questions Ana, leading Sam to deceive and eliminate the detective.

Sam tries to flee with Ana, but she confronts him. He drugs her and attempts to escape, but his former teacher, Professor Marshall, intervenes with Ana's help. They bring Sam to CITEK, where he is restrained. During a conversation with Diane Simmons, the creator of LIVAX, Marshall learns she is Sam's biological mother. Diane calls the police, leading to Sam's arrest.

Ana and Professor Marshall release Sam's research to the public, exposing the truth about LIVAX. Despite Diane's attempts to downplay the findings, Sam feels relieved in prison, free from Shadow Sam and having revealed the dangers of LIVAX.
