Called back to the University after working at research stations for twenty-five years, Brandy Hollander is more than a little upset when she is thrown in the middle of a evolution versus intelligent design controversy. What's worse is the leader for the other side is the husband, Norman Kettering, she deserted. Unfortunately the reason she left is still there, the woman who phoned her up to tell her that she was pregnant with Norman's child. Norman claims the child is not his but Brandy is not convinced to listen until people from the past put pressure on her to leave in criminal ways.
