Synopsis

Sebastian Zair is four years old. But a rare blood disorder means that he won't live much longer unless he gets a stem cell transplant.

His mother is determined to save him. With no one in the family a match she appeals to The Pemberton Fertility Centre to help her create an embryo of the same tissue type as Sebastian. But can she sanction the destruction of healthy embryos that don t match?

Will her resolve falter as her fortieth birthday approaches? When hormones play havoc with her confidence and control? When The Pemberton becomes the focus of a major enquiry? When an unscrupulous journalist starts to invade the family's privacy? When militant pro-life campaigners protest against the wanton waste of life?

It's a race against time and time is not on Sebastian's side.

How far would you go to save the life of your child?
