Plot
In the world of pharmaceutical sales, Karly Hert has made a name for herself, climbing the corporate ladder with compelling persuasion and charm. Working for the dominating Braden-Andrews Corporation, Karly finds herself ensnared in a web of ethical dilemmas, selling drugs that promise life but sometimes exact a terrible price. Despite her discomfort, the allure of a hefty salary, impressive bonuses, and luxurious benefits make her position difficult to abandon.
However, everything takes a turn when Karly crosses paths with her former colleague, Zach Danner. As their relationship gradually deepens, Zach inspires Karly to question her choices, to stand for her values, and to consider a life beyond the golden handcuffs of their industry.
Motivated by this newfound perspective, Karly sets a six-month deadline to untangle herself from her morally ambiguous job. In a daring move, she chooses to be truthful with her prescribing physicians, a decision that unpredictably boosts the market share of Braden-Andrews. Her honesty is rewarded with a promotion and an upgraded BMW, trapping her further in the corporate maze she longs to escape.
Just as she is grappling with her exit strategy, a new anti-depressive drug, Vivexx, is approved by the FDA. When Karly stumbles upon concealed medical reports indicating potential liver complications, she finds herself in the eye of a storm of corporate deceit. As she is nominated for the prestigious Industry Rep of the Year award, Karly is faced with a critical decision.
Side Effects is a captivating tale of moral struggle, love, and corporate intrigue; it paints a vivid picture of life within the pharmaceutical industry, where decisions are often a matter of life and death, profits and loss. Will Karly find the strength to escape the enticing clutches of corporate America, or will she be forever trapped in a world driven more by profits than patient welfare? The answer awaits in the heart of this compelling drama.
