Clot faces a dilemma: unmask Chopeitia's plans for world domination and risk death; or play ball and obtain Chopeitia's genetic treatment for his brain-damaged daughter.

Although your daughter may legally be an adult, she has not yet developed the traits that...

Soon, Kyle’s sanity comes into question as everyone around her begins to doubt that Julia ever boarded the plane at all.
