whether in vitro fertilization should ever be performed in

a baby by this procedure. Dr. Colin Sanford, a brilliant,
ambitious obstetrician in the Pacific Northwest city of
Emerald, has a plan. He recruits Dr. Giselle Hearn, an
experienced laboratory geneticist-embryologist at the
University. Drs. Sanford and Hearn, working secretly, set
out to put their names in history books.
Several months later, Dr. Sanford’s patient, Joyce Kennett,
gives birth to a healthy boy, and Sanford prepares to make
an announcement at a press conference. But before it
convenes, Ms. Kennett’s marginally- schizophrenic husband
kills Dr. Hearn and then himself. Police Detective Bernie
Baumgartner’s investigation is hampered by pressure from

Baumgartner suspects more at play...
