Why would three successful women cross legal, cultural and religious redlines to carry genetically engineered human embryos? Environmental Attorney Bree Battle does it because a mysterious doctor will only cure her terminal brain cancer if she agrees. Zadie Springer is an advertising executive for whom invitro fertilization has failed, but needs to have a baby to ensure her bloodline continues. Popstar Gwen Blaze and her husband have the Huntington's Disease gene, but are desperate for a baby that won't face the same fate. For these three women, genetically engineered babies are their only choice. However, they have no idea that by agreeing to this, they have made themselves vulnerable to chaos. The danger for each is real as they find themselves caught between public controversy and secret warring factions of an ancient order. Everyone involved defends their actions as necessary for the quote 'greater good of humanity.' Words that sound all too familiar in today's reproductive climate.
