It is the 24th century, and the human race has split into two groups: those who still reside on Earth, a more technologically-advanced version of it, and the others, who call the Off-World, a smaller, neighbouring M-class planet, home, and where they still live a peaceful 21st-century existence.
But that existence is being threatened by a rare mutation that is seeing the Off-World's population declining as they're experiencing a growing baby drought. Despite fears of potentially polluting their valued, pure human lineage, Lady Orna Hessep, the President of the Off-World, is forced to approach the galaxy's foremost eugenics institute to find probable matches across the galaxy to stem their alarmingly declining birthrates.
An unanticipated error at the Galactic Re-population Institute unearths a shocking discovery that challenges the Off-Worlders' claim of being the oldest and purest descendants of early humans when a perfect match is found in the unlikeliest of places.
