Unable to have a healthy child naturally, a couple hope a bespoke baby is the solution. Stars Laura dos Santos.

A couple discover that they can't have a healthy baby naturally.

Zenith Genomics seems to offer the solution.

They can create a perfect, bespoke child, with every gene hand-picked. For a price.

But the parents soon find that perfection brings its own problems...

Joseph Wilde's unsettling drama - set in the near future - is a dark fable about parental expectation - and the pressures of parenting in a competitive and commodified world.
