Based on the first-person experience and two non-fiction books ("Bad Blood" by Vic Parsons and "The Gift of Death" by Andre Picard), Unspeakable follows the emergence of HIV and Hepatitis C in Canada in the early '80s and the tragedy that resulted after thousands of people were unnecessarily infected by tainted blood.
