Living in a world of disappointments, Jennifer Housler craves a child to raise and love more than anything, but the love she thought she would find in her son Lance over the years never comes. In its place, an evil personality erupts, leading him to become a psychopathic killer. It takes the collaboration of an expert human geneticist, a leading psychologist, and a skillful FBI agent to identify him, but their hopes of catching, arresting, and prosecuting him are much more difficult to carry out than they realize.
