ONE DEGREE is an historical medical mystery of an illness that begins in the 1971 Vietnam wartime jungle and follows five Vietnam Veterans and people touched by it in their stateside journey to define and irradiate this fatal gruesome disease.
The veterans feel helpless to treat this disease first encountered in soldiers during the mid-1960s, peaking globally in the early 1970s, and essentially disappearing by 1975. A talented plastic surgeon, Claire Ferrier, tragically succumbs to this dormant illness after returning to the US from Cameroon in 1986. With great effort, dedication and original thinking the brotherhood of Vietnam Veterans spearheads the discovery of the disease's causation and eliminates this vile occurrence. Corrupt activities of Big Pharma in collusion with an influential US Senator are at the root of the causation of the disease.
