Interesting people have interesting lives and lovers. James Curtis, an environmental scientist working in the Southern Alps of New Zealand is no exception - until he meets Dinny, that is. They both discover there is more to sex than lust. It takes their combined resources, however, to rescue his kid sister, Nicole, who is to be the 'engine room' for a million-dollar embryo production line. Fortunately, Nicole has resources of her own, which lead to a shocking expose of the corruption existing in a psychiatric unit. Love triumphs over evil, eventually, and the conclusion is as satisfactory as it is unexpected.
