"Using Our Heads" PSA (American Brain Foundation)

POISON SKY The Movie

SHORT SYNOPSIS
Fresh from his residency program, Dr. David Gibson takes off for a small town in Arizona to spend a few relaxing weeks with his fiancée, Samantha Grey. But shortly after he arrives, he is pulled into a growing series of events resulting from mysterious illnesses, and even deaths, of the
fine citizens of this quaint town.

David discovers a small amount of a green gooey substance caught in the hair of a young child… her reaction to the effects of the substance brings her close to the brink of death. As he researches the source of this chemical mixture, more citizens of the town come forward with similar medical crisis.

His fiancé, attorney Samantha Grey, calls on the resources of the law firm where she works. But even the esteemed Judge in town seems to shut down their theories at every turn. Determined to find the truth, they are shocked to find similar situations worldwide.

Their search catches the attention of a secret society, whose members will do anything to keep their agendas hidden and their purposes on track. The head of the organization has global ties that go back generations. Their clandestine methods have no boundaries. Did David and Samantha stumble onto proof of the sinister intent of the group? Are the various governments a part of a global conspiracy? If so, what is their ultimate goal?
