NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM RELATIVITY MEDIA

A burnout at thirty-five, months behind on his book, low on cash, and something of a loser, Eddie Spinola could use a shot in the arm.ВOne day he randomly runs into Vernon, his ex-wife's brother, and his ex-dealer.ВNow employed by a shadowy pharmaceutical company, Vernon has something that might help:Вa new designer drug that stimulates brain function.ВOne pill and Eddie is hooked.ВHis book is finished within days; he learns and synthesizes information at a frightening rate; and he can go a long time without sleep or food.ВNaturally, he begins to play the stock market.ВBut when Vernon turns up dead, Eddie makes off with the only stash of the drug in existence. Then come the side effects:Вblack-outs, blinding headaches, and violent outbursts he can't seem to remember.В

Alan Glynn'sВLimitless is a high-concept thriller for this Adderall age, and a haunting meditation on the allure and theВcurse of human potential.В
