Moira Sugden, long-term resident of the Manxhealth Institute of Challenged Stability, and her daughters Hazel and Linda are disunited by the self-inflicted wounds of family, and cornered by sex, God and medication into varying states of delusion. But when Hazel makes frightening discoveries about the scientific research of her gynaecologist husband, they join shaky forces against the drug called Genetic Choice. Too late to stop the birth of the perfect baby and its imperfect counterpart. To late to stop the collision course of fantasy and reality. But not too late for a blackly ironic revenge on genetic engineering and the born-again Church.
