Logline

Nocebo

The nocebo effect (from latin = I will harm) is, as opposed to the placebo effect, a negative reaction induced by a harmless substance. Whereas a placebo effect creates a positive response, a nocebo effect creates harmful effects.

Christian Lukas, 22, is on the run. During a medication study, he and his girlfriend Anna discovered that another participant had a fatal reaction.
