Rolling Review #32

A brilliant scientist invents a pain preventing drug called Hapna that seems to be a boon for humanity. When he suddenly reveals that it was all a trap, and everyone who ingested it will die in 30 days, the race is on to find him and the cure! A team called "Lazarus" is assembled of skilled individuals who all hold a shared history with Hapna. Listen to the Con Artists discuss this show with a superb pedigree that just...wants too much for its run time...
