John Crowley, a successful corporate executive whose life is upended when two of his young children are diagnosed with Pompe disease, a rare and fatal genetic disorder that progressively weakens the muscles. Faced with a medical establishment that offers no hope and a ticking clock that threatens his children’s lives, Crowley refuses to surrender to despair. He walks away from his stable career and financial security to dive headfirst into the high-stakes world of biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. In his search for a breakthrough, Crowley tracks down Dr. Robert Stonehill, a brilliant but cantankerous and reclusive scientist whose unconventional theories might hold the key to a treatment.
