Rebecca Riffkin and her husband enjoy the luxuries of living in the most technologically advanced world to date. Their respective parents are still alive and healthy, food is abundant, and the population is booming. Minus a few accidents, most the deaths occur from the Hayflick limit. Countries have slowly merged into a federations and unions, and these new entities rely strictly on diplomacy. With no children, the two travel as much as possible. That is until their sterilizations failed and brought about Andrew. A simple act of love threatens their whole existence. With laws protecting the young mass, they make a gut reaction that severely alters and shortens their lives. Andrew will never know his father, but his father’s sacrifice will always be known.
