Full Description
San Francisco, 1971. As the Vietnam War rages, the government wages war at
home against the hippy counter-culture. High profile drug trials capture
headlines. Seymour Phillips, a headstrong journalist eager to prove himself,
discovers key information uncovering a vast drug network. A routine interview
leads to a sensational accusation that the man accused of trafficking mass
quantities of LSD, works for the CIA.
Seymour is approached by CHASE, an
eccentric, paranoid stranger in disguise who claims to be a former CIA operative
and have the inside scoop on the CIA/LSD connection. Chase insists that Seymour
has only scratched the surface. The two forge a most uncommon alliance in a
dangerous and mind-bending quest for the truth behind quite possibly the most
bizarre chapter of the CIA's history.
While most Americans were
watching Leave it to Beaver and listening to The Everly Brothers, an eclectic
group of CIA operatives were spiking each other's coffees with LSD, throwing
decadent parties and hiring prostitutes to slip unsuspecting johns drug-laced
drinks in order to observe every stoned and kinky moment from behind two-way
mirrors.
And this was only when they weren't dreaming up the next far
reaching "official" application for this new, all-powerful, mind blowing drug -
a drug that would ironically fuel the counter-culture over a decade later.
Coincidence? Maybe not.
