El laboratorio del doctor Lowell se dedica a la investigación de enfermedades hereditarias y neurológicas experimentando con células madre y ha encontrado líneas terapéuticas prometedoras. Sin embargo, su trabajo está amenazado por una ley contraria a estos experimentos, apoyada por el senador Ashley Butler, y que daría al traste con los sueños de Lowell.
