The drama tells the story of the early 1980s in Canada, where the discovery of HIV and Hepatitis C led to a devastating outbreak of tainted blood, resulting in thousands of unnecessary infections.
The Canadian tainted blood crisis of the 1980s is explored, focusing on the inaction of those in charge despite mounting evidence of HIV and hepatitis transmission through blood products. The crisis is told through the stories of two families, whose sons suffer from hemophilia and rely on these products to survive.
