Blind Sided

​Blind Sided embeds a hair-raising but absolutely credible technological advance into present day life in the suburbs.  In an effort to cap off the fallout from a tidal wave of over 50 divorces, the government licenses companies to sell a drug treatment which allows a person to live alongside a destested partner without feeling in any way compromised.  The fallout creates a wave of events which  transform quiet suburban lives into high drama worthy of a Greek tragedy.
