This story follows the actions of a couple who seem to have been together forever, who want to be able to create children of their own, and who will stop at nothing to do so. Involving stem cell research, cloning, mind control, human sacrifices, eventual success ... and what comes after, this story isn't afraid to touch on sensitive issues to get where it wants to go, or to take things even further from there. In part 1, Prince and Penny Pallas find themselves and their requests turned down by scientist after scientist, and must turn to a disgraced and unethical (but brilliant) researcher to give them the babies they've been longing for.
