In this movie, a washed-out writer who is facing a block decided to dabble into the unknown, a drug that enhances brain power. His mind clears suddenly. He writes a best selling novel in 4 days. He starts to trade stocks and grew his account from 12k to 2m in 10 trading days.
Then he faces side-effects, effects that almost killed him. He manages to find private laboratories that could remove the "bugs" from the drug. He manages to turn around and run for President with the new drug without the side effecfs.
If only...
I've been searching for this since 1993. I've tried many. Most just give you a high. I'm not talking about illegal substances, but drugs that are supposedly clinically proven to treat Alzeimer's, Attention Deficit Disorder etc. They all disappoint. Many don't give you a clearer mind.
Perhaps my quest is similar to Emperor Qin's quest for the elixir of youth. He never found it. In fact, by ingesting mercury, he hastened his death.
