Penned by Emmy Award winner Lucy Prebble (HBO’s Succession), this intensely dark comedy follows two patients, Connie and Tristan, who are enrolled in a pharmaceutical trial testing a new wonder drug. As the two begin to feel a connection, they can’t tell if this attraction is truly a matter of the heart, or is it simply finding the right combination of brain chemicals? In this clinical romance, it’s hard to tell what is real and what is purely a symptom of better living through modern chemistry. Side effects may include moments of intense romantic tension, uproarious laughter, and rare cases of falling in love.
