She justifies her work now, having faith that cloning will one day be accepted but she has to decide if her profession or her personal life is ultimately the most important. Plus there is the matter of the clone, is it her imagination or can she see something stirring in its eyes.One man finding solace in books and the safety of solitude meets an enigmatic yet mysterious woman and begins to take the risks he never thought he would.After establishing the virtual churches or 'Virches' one man begins to have doubts about his religion and his personal conflict becomes an experiment in finding out what ultimately does it mean to be good or bad. He begins to enjoy the new freedoms he has given himself a little too much.As the story rapidly unfolds so does the connection and intricacies between them the rising tension then races towards a climax that transcends any expectations.In essence it asks the ultimate question of what it means to be human.
