Victor Asayes, acclaimed molecular geneticist, finally gets the break he needs to chase his dreams of running his own laboratory. He’s trying to further develop his research in genomic modifications to help eliminate many of the treatable ailments humans face in this day and age. His wife, Famiya, is a bit more apprehensive and cautious about the venture. She seems to prefer things to stay just as they are. A generous grant from the National Institute of Health (NIH) affords him a building that will be perfect for his new laboratory. Once he steps foot inside and makes a surprising discovery, it may be life altering in a much different fashion than anticipated. Will Famiya decide to be his rock, an unbreakable support system for him to rely on as he investigates the history and nature of this finding, or reveal a side of her that Victor never saw before? The world is changing, whether we all like it or not, and with the exponential rate of advancement in technology there is going to come changes that we may not always agree with, or feel comfortable with. The question is, what great lengths are people willing to go to in order to prevent the next big revolution? What will Victor be able to do to make sure science isn't the culprit for the next major catastrophe that plagues the earth?
