One Man
A crusading TV reporter finds his life ripped apart as he investigates a story about a company's deadly criminal negligence. Jason Brady is a hot crusading Montreal TV reporter who learns of the biggest story of his career. A female social worker shows him the carnage happening to children due to the criminally negligent behaviour of a corporation concerning their handling of a deadly chemical called B.A.P. As he investigates, he finds that not only does he have to face the corporation's underhanded efforts to silence him, but also the turmoil with his own family as he gets so emotionally involved in the story and the social worker that he is alienating his wife. Eventually, events lead to a point that forces him to make sacrifices he could not anticipate. —Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com> Jason Brady is an investigative reporter for Channel 11 CKMC TV Montréal, he who gets some notoriety for his exposés. His wife, Alicia Brady, who is as socially conscious as him in wanting the stories he tells to come to light, nonetheless laments that he has not moved on to the executive ranks as has happened with many of his contemporaries if only as it would be more regular hours - Jason spending more time away at all hours than at home - and for their and their three sons' security and Jason's safety. That latter point is highlighted when he and his regular cameraman Ernie Carrick are in the mobile unit, and chasing down a call, come across what ends up being a mob shooting. What neither Jason or Alicia are aware of is that safety will be more of an issue when he starts working on a story regarding what looks to a case of industrial pollution. By happenstance, Jason meets child care worker Marion Galbraith at the hospital, she who has brought in many extremely sick children from St. Xavier, the doctor who confirms that they are suffering from BAP poisoning. Because of the proximity, Marion is certain the BAP is coming from the Konrads factory. As Marion and Jason chase down the story - she who eventually has a source inside the company - they endure the wrath of many different factions at Konrads, some who will go to extreme lengths to muzzle Jason. While Jason will ultimately do what he believes he has to, Alicia too has to follow her heart and her head in looking out for herself and the boys, especially as she believes that Jason has cheated on her for the first time with Marion. —Huggo
