SETTUP takes a fresh look behind the scenes of the high stakes world of clinical drug trials, where vulnerabilities are exploited and profit margins celebrated. Respected neurologist and researcher Stella Murray was confident the FDA would approve the experimental medication based on its demonstrated superior efficacy. Knowing one side effect would not derail the approval process, she reports a patient had a significant reaction to the investigational drug. Shortly thereafter, Grand Rapids Detective Troy Evans is called to investigate the suspicious death of a Site Monitor who, he learns, worked with Murray. Evans asks Murray to educate him on the unfamiliar world of medical research. She discloses that conducting investigational drug studies has become a multibillion-dollar industry, with power brokers providing more oversight than the government. When Murray informs Evans that a second Site Monitor has been killed, they team up to take down the corruption that is mercilessly burying unwelcome results of a promising drug trial.
