Synopsis:
No one knows exactly how cystic fibrosis destroys a victim's lungs. But we do know that at the heart of the mystery lies salt: the salt that's essential to the working of a healthy body. This is the story of biomedical pioneers searching for a cure to a disease that has killed people of European descent for millennia.
