The year is 2089, and the world’s population has just been decimated by a racially motivated bioterrorist attack that indiscriminately destroys nearly all human life on earth.  Amongst the half million survivors, all living on the Mediterranean island of Bethel are Brahm Sosthene, a professor of genetics and anthropology and Sari Aldira, a recently graduated social worker.

Through the depths of their grief, with no other family alive, they fall deeply in love, get married and work together to help bring Bethel and all humanity back from the brink of extinction.

Brahm is a visionary who develops a plan to rebuild a world devoid of the pervasive xenophobia and interracial fear that killed his parents and nearly rendered all humanity extinct.  Brahm postulates racism could be eliminated if there were simply no differing races.  His proposal, The Human Homogenization Project, intends to eradicate differing races all together via mandated interracial procreation, homogenizing the entire gene pool of all surviving humanity into one common race.

Through his vaunted position in the fledgling government, Brahm lobbies and convinces the  surviving and traumatized population to adopt his vision, and irreversibly transform all humankind into one race within three generations.

Under the leadership of Brahm’s estranged best friend Jess Nisham, believing Brahms HHP is a hyperreactive misguided eugenics program destined to destroy, not save humankind, a strong opposition of disparate racial groups coalesce and unify to reject homogenization and preserve human tribal diversity.

When Brahm’s wife, Sari, unexpectedly becomes pregnant with his child, an illegal same-race pregnancy, she is faced with an irreconcilable dilemma: acquiesce to her husband’s  demands to terminate her unexpected but much desired pregnancy or have their child and create a maelstrom of controversy that would sabotage his ambitious proposal to direct the course of human evolution.

Now, the fate of the Human Homogenization Project and the future direction of all humankind rests within Sari’s womb.

Who will win this struggle for all humankind’s destiny and will their efforts to rid the surviving population from their unrelenting divisiveness be fruitful, or will all their well-intentioned efforts fall prey to the same pitfalls that have plagued humankind for millennia?
