n ACONITE Queen of PoisonsBased on a True StoryThe adventures of Dr. Josephine Reva, a first woman doctor in Brooklyn, who moonlights as a detective to solve paradoxical "poison cure" crimes. In Roaring 20's New York, a feisty orphan rises from the slums to become a first woman doctor. Josephine Reva, Homeopath M.D. hangs her shingle in Brooklyn, and her loyalty to the Hippocratic Oath will soon be tested under Prohibition. But Josephine has even graver concerns -- she's campaigning for women's equality in medicine and she won't give up her homeopathic poison cures. Murder intrudes when a man is found dead at the docks from Aconite, known as the "Queen of Poisons." Aconite is also one of Josephine's remedies, and she realizes she's being framed. Chief Detective John O'Malley is a hard-boiled cop who believes poison is a "woman's weapon", and his top suspect is Josephine. The two begin a cat and mouse chase along the killer's trail. With help from her devoted patients, Josephine goes undercover as a flapper to spy on suspicious bootleggers and doctors. Pulling Josephine out of trouble is Dominick, her brawny and handsome chauffeur with a mysterious past. Complications soon arise when Josephine falls for a debonair suspect. Can Josephine unmask the murderer? Can she unravel her own secrets to follow her heart and her ambition?
