Opis

John Griffin returns to work one night to find the pharmaceutical lab he manages engulfed in flames. When he and two coworkers confront the executive who ordered the fire, the three learn that they had been working on a drug for a disease that is more profitable without a cure. To ensure they won't interfere with quarterly profits, the executive has them placed on the government's terrorist kill list. On the run, John and his coworkers try to develop the cure while the military and the CIA use the full power of the US anti-terror machine to stop them. With the help of a freshman congressman from Pennsylvania and a few well-placed special forces, Shotgun John and Scorpion are forced to take on the unwarranted influence of corporate donors and the politicians they support. Along the way, John realizes that not even his allies' motives align with his - getting home to see his wife. SEND FLOWERS is a non-stop adventure pitting left against right, soldiers against contractors, and citizens against special interests in an all too plausible world where corporations decide who the CIA tortures and kills. The government's collusion with corporations to maximize profits at the expense of the governed seems insurmountable until this small group of committed citizens starts to fight dirty too.
