To continue his research into cloning, Harry meets and employs a young woman, named Meli, who practically moves in with him on an agreement to contribute her ovary sample as part of the cloning progress. Meli slowly falls for the much older Harry who begins to question his ethics and vision of true love. Meanwhile, a rival of Harry's, fellow medical professor Dr. Sid Kuhlenbeck, tries to investigate and hinder Harry's cloning plans as part of a ploy to remove Harry from the university to take over Harry's lab for himself.
The story centers around Harry's scientific pursuit of cloning, the ethical dilemmas he faces, and the complex relationship with Meli, who becomes entangled in his work. Dr. Kuhlenbeck represents an antagonist who seeks to disrupt Harry's progress and seize his position.
