A young boy's death threatens the future and sanity of a Montana rancher...A terminally ill nurse commits herself to cold-blooded murder...A doctor's chance encounter makes him suspect his adopted son may have an identical twin ... These seemingly unrelated events lay the groundwork for a tale of deceit and treachery that brings to life a world of the not-so-improbable future where the achievements of man nullify the debilitating effects of age, physical infirmity, disease and even death itself. Led by an aging maniacal genius, a society of wealthy aristocrats band together to realize their egotistical dreams of immortality. Only one more ingredient is needed to reach their destiny: the death of innocent children.
