A dark, intellectually demanding meditation on grief and obsession that uses cloning as a metaphor for the impossibility of recapturing the past.

Genetics professor Adam Slope clones his wife Dawn after she dies in a fire but the woman he creates is different than the woman he loved, so he tries over and over, in a desperate attempt to get her back exactly as she was.
