A dramatic three-part thriller set in the sinister world of modern drug research. JIM HARPER (Stephen Tompkinson) doesn't know it, but he's a walking experiment. One minute he was a lovelorn teacher at a school in Switzerland, the next he's escaping from a secret Alpine laboratory of a multinational pharmaceutical company, with a security division larger than most governments. They hunt him ruthlessly, for his body contains their secret enzyme which could make illegal millions for the company and can turn him into a weapon of enormous potential. Fleeing to England, and with no one to trust but his beautiful companion LINDA (Maria Lennon), Jim has to discover what the OKTOBER Project is, and how it can be stopped. If he fails, the prospects for the world are truly terrifying. This quest for the truth sparks an international manhunt involving police, private detectives, doctors, soldiers and psychotics. Explosions, gun fights, ambushes, deceit and double-crossing all combine to try to prevent Harper revealing the truth. Adapted by Stephen Gallagher from his own best selling novel of the same name, OKTOBER was shot on location in England, France and Switzerland.
