Prescription for Danger (2018)

Ivy Fisher, a relentless Boston businesswoman, is caught in the throes of a high-stakes life. A successful entrepreneur, Ivy runs a flourishing online venture with her best friend Skyler, all while grappling with a relentless onslaught of migraines that have plagued her since her college days. Her headaches only intensify as she shoulders the grief of her mother's death alongside the pressure of securing a $10 million investment to grow her business. When Ivy faints under the weight of her stress, she finds herself in the care of Dr. Mark Laurie, a neurologist with a sinister secret. Despite his initial diagnosis that Ivy's migraines are stress-related, Laurie reports the discovery of a deadly brain tumor, a diagnosis confirmed by his dubious associate, Dr. Asher. Ivy, faced with the specter of her own mortality, refuses traditional treatment, haunted by the memory of her mother's suffering. Seizing the opportunity, the corrupt Dr. Laurie offers an alternative: experimental drugs that, while unapproved by the FDA, promise a chance at survival. The price? A steep $100,000 per year, off the books, a sum Ivy is forced to muster on her own. As Ivy succumbs to the allure of hope, she begins to amend her lifestyle, adopting healthier habits under the doctor's guidance. Unexpectedly, she finds herself drawn to Laurie, and a clandestine romance blooms between them as he feigns stepping down from his professional role. In reality, the compassionate doctor who holds Ivy's life in his hands is orchestrating an intricate scam. The diagnosis, the non-existent Dr. Asher, the counterfeit medication – all are elements of a carefully crafted deception designed to exploit Ivy. Laurie, a master manipulator, justifies his actions with a warped sense of altruism, believing he is helping Ivy lead a better life. But beneath his polished facade, Laurie's past is tainted with similar transgressions, with previous victims like Claire Collins threatening to expose his misconduct. As Ivy stands on the precipice of uncovering the truth, she unwittingly steps into danger. For the doctor she once trusted is willing to kill to protect his twisted operation. Will Ivy manage to escape from this web of deceit and corruption, or will she become another victim of the doctor's lethal prescription for danger?
