Dr. Kevin Kincaid is on the verge of a major genetic breakthrough. After years of research he's created a way of repairing damaged genes in unborn children. With Kincaid's discovery doctors will be able to eradicate deadly genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and others for generations to come.

But in the wrong hands it can change the very nature of humankind itself-which attracts the attention of dangerous forces, including a ruthless government agency and an international cabal of industrialists.

They will stop at nothing to get Kincaid's discovery and use it for their own ends.
