The narrative draws on real court cases from Alexandria, offering a sober look at how illegal chemical trades can affect crops, the environment, and the people who depend on them. It also exposes layers of corruption, showing how business elites and politicians can manipulate lives through illicit trade, even murder, and broad influence over everyday affairs.
