An edge-of-your-seat view into the lives of everyday heroes committed to one of America's noblest professions. For the firefighters, rescue squad and paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51, no occupation is more stressful or dangerous, yet so rewarding and exhilarating. These courageous men and women are among the elite who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way and whose actions make the difference between life and death.

[After Algos] tells the story of Dr. Richter, a half-crazy, half-genius young scientist whose invention has the ability to transfer pain from one person to another. Though his intentions are good, he is blinded by passion and he is imprisoned for unethical experimentation. While Richter languishes in prison, the Algos becomes a commercialized product, turning into a symbol of greed and class disparity. What begins as a project with a mission to bring relief to humanity quickly descends into madness. This film will leave viewers in disarray, questioning modern day society and the limits of human compassion.
