Humanity’s best hope to save itself from self-destruction is an experiment to fast forward evolution. Bridget, a human with a keenly unique DNA, will birth such a being. Nobel-winning scientist Marie Faysal has also created Bodhi, an intelligent bio-organic machine. Bodhi’s mission: protect Bridget. The year is 2131.
But like most experiments, things can't be predicted or predictions go wrong—terribly wrong. Questioning who and what she is, Bodhi turns her assignment upside-down. Instead of protecting Bridget, the young droid blackmails her. |
