Love is a drug!

ComedyDramaRomance

America! Built on a better pill. Karly Hert has spent the last ten years selling drugs. Legally, that is. Karly is a pharmaceutical sales representative. She sells pills to doctors. She makes lots of money. She has a company car. She has a nice fat expense account. But there's a growing pit in Karly's stomach. Something isn't right behind the scenes at big pharma. Based on the director's decade working directly for the industry.

VIBE

A sharp, cynical look at the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. It's a darkly funny, yet increasingly anxious ride, exploring the moral compromises made in the pursuit of success. Feels like a biting satire with a dose of existential dread.
