Overview
Working-class father John Crowley is finally on the fast track to corporate success when his two young children are diagnosed with Pompe disease—a condition that prevents the body from breaking down sugar. With the support of his wife, John ditches his career and teams with unconventional specialist, Dr. Robert Stonehill to found a bio-tech company and develop a cure in time to save the lives of his children. As Dr. Stonehill works tirelessly to prove the theories that made him the black sheep of the medical community, a powerful bond is forged between the two unlikely allies.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive race-against-time drama about a father's desperate fight to save his children by betting everything on an unproven medical cure. It's equal parts inspirational and genuinely stressful, grounded in the logistics of medical breakthrough rather than melodrama.
