Synopsis
Jeff Green studied medicine but now works in marketing for a major drug company, ZioTech Labs. He has a successful career and thinks he is happy as he prepares to marry his equally career-driven girlfriend,
Deborah. But a visit to his grandmother, Sarah, in a nearby nursing home changes everything.
Sarah is not doing well. The emotional life and memory of this once-vital lady are in tatters. A supervisor at the nursing home, an attractive young woman named Kathy Thompson, tells Jeff that the problem
might be a new drug, Wellebrex. Jeff is stunned: Wellebrex is manufactured by ZioTech, his employer.
Jeff investigates and discovers things are not what they seem in his company. A friend from medical
school, Tom Leadley, also works for ZioTech. Tom insists Wellebrex is fine but he clearly knows more
than he is telling. Jeff's fiance becomes angry with his crusade, fearing it will hurt their future. Jeff
becomes closer to Kathy and the community at the nursing home. His superiors at ZioTech promote
Jeff in an attempt to silence him. Then Tom is found dead --suicide or murder? -- and Jeff understands
that he has stumbled into something bigger and deadlier than he had imagined.
DO NO HARM is a thriller that entertains even as it teaches, an exciting blend of CSI, THE
INSIDER, and MICHAEL CLAYTON, A story where individuals take control of their lives and win,
it's a movie that is destined to transform a very wide audience.
DO NO HARM uses a suspenseful, entertaining story to explore serious, timely issues. Currently Senator
Chuck Grassley of Iowa has commenced an investigation into how anti-psychotic drugs are being
misapplied to Alzheimer and Dementia patients in Nursing Homes. As a movement therapist working in
80 eldercare facilities (www.yomenco.com) I have personally observed this abuse. People do not have to
be as dependent on drugs as corporations want us to believe.
This is my first screenplay but my collaborator/editor is Christopher Bram, whose book became the
Academy Award-winning movie GODS AND MONSTERS with Ian McKellan and Lynn Redgrave. My
father's experience with Alzheimer's motivated me to sell my accounting practice, work with seniors and
write health and wellness books. My first published by Andrews McMeel and sold over 30,000 copies
and received national media exposure. My literary agent is the well-respected Jeff Herman
