The Synopsis
Leroy Jones (Dwight Martin), a black CIA operative, observes Americans dumping nuclear waste in an African country, then being ordered by a superior to keep his mouth shut. Skip to the present and Leroy, now a CIA senior analyst in the U.S., must face the consequences of that cover-up. The buried nuclear waste has contaminated the nation’s cocoa crop, which is used by U.S. manufacturers whose chocolate products, from cereals to Easter eggs, are now spreading radioactive poison around the globe.
