White Blackmail is the story of a child afflicted with cancer, and who is treated with an experimental therapeutic. It is a medical thriller that provides a glimpse into the fascinating and risky enterprise of discovering novel therapeutics for human diseases, against the backdrop of the human element which forms the substratum of all interactions occurring between the scientists, patients and their families.
An ambitious scientist believes he has a game changing cancer treatment. It takes determination and resourcefulness to maintain the forward momentum required to bring the development of the new medicine to a conclusion, and success comes at a steep price to both families. As the story progresses one is left to ponder on the shades of grey that pervade the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ that the families react to.
