Description

The human genome holds secrets that could change our understanding of what it means to be human. In 2003, the first human genome was sequenced, but one scientist knew the full truth about its implications. Dr. Paul Kraus had spent his career searching for humanity's lost tribes - ancestors who have gone extinct. When comparing DNA samples from these lost tribes with our own, Kraus discovered a pattern of changes that he believed held the key to understanding the human genome. However, the technology didn't exist to fully decode it at the time. Now, with modern technology available, the code is finally unravelable, and a global conspiracy threatens to be exposed. For Dr. Peyton Shaw, finding the remaining pieces of Kraus's research may come at an incredible price. With time running out, she must weigh the lives of strangers against those she loves in order to uncover the truth about humanity's lost past.
