Attractive and twenty-eight, Kate Wilson is trying to rebuild her
life after a broken relationship when she attends an animal rights
meeting one evening, encouraged by her friend, Steve. Here for the
first time she meets and hears the dynamic activist, Mark Stanton,
whose aim is to bring to an end all animal experimentation and suffering
in the notorious company, Draco Life Sciences.
Reluctant at first, Kate, impressed by Mark, is gradually drawn
in and then persuaded to go undercover to get vital information.
Soon she realises that Mark has enemies both inside and outside
the movement, as well as the authorities on his trail, causing tension
and constant danger.
But Mark is a man of conviction and strength. Despite setbacks,
and at considerable cost to his own welfare, safety and career,
he persists with his objective. “Remember,” he says, “the
animals need us. No one will help them if we do not. Don’t
pass by on the other side.”
Gradually as she becomes more involved, Kate falls in love with
Mark. But can her love break through his dedication to the cause
and can Mark succeed with the forces closing in against him?
The Cause will make you question, make you angry, make you weep.
It helps us to understand the motivation and determination of those
who want to bring the practice of vivisection to an end and value
animals for what they are – as sentient beings.
