Cloning. Accelerated growth of replacement organs, and DNA repair. In 2096, they are all possible, and forbidden by law. But the law is not justice when it forbids using these tools to save the life of a precious child, who is dying of a slow, painful death from a horrifying genetic disease.

Torver Lockwood and Demetria Greyson accept the challenge Zelimir's father confronts them with: "Find a cure for my son." Both scientists have a personal stake in this illegal research: it may help explain why Torver can see into people's pasts and why Demetria's visions expose a violent future. But the solution could be a double-edged sword: it has the potential for a devastating genetic weapon that could be programmed to target specific genes. If their research falls into the wrong hands, it could start an unspeakable reign of terror. Will Torver and Demetria destroy their data for the secret cure to save their world, at the cost of one small life?
