    Devastated by the rape and murder of his only daughter, Davis Moore, a renowned Chicago fertility doctor specializing in new cloning technology, embarks on an unthinkable experiment in the not so distant future. From crime scene DNA, the doctor creates a clone, Justin, for an unsuspecting North Shore couple to raise in hopes of one day being able to identify the elusive killer. The repercussions of Moore’s desperate action rock his family, the life and psyche of young Justin, and many others who are swept into the elaborate web of deception. This psychological thriller imagines a future in which cloned children must question what makes them who they are, and a society that may or may not forgive people for lives they never lived.

    Fast-paced, gripping, and thought provoking. Just how far would you go to find out the identity of your child's killer?
