the long version
A human embryo is allowed to preview the world before deciding whether to be born. To help him make up his mind, he will meet a range of people. Among them, a greeting card writer who excels at sympathy cards, and Prospect's very own inscrutable parents. Trish Mesmer is the scientist charged with counseling Prospect, though she has more hidden agendas then a centipede has legs. Big Farm Technologies, the sponsor of the bio-experiment, exerts pressure on Mesmer to see a return on their formidable investment. At the same time, Trevor Grueling grows increasingly committed to derailing the bio-experiment all together, for personal reasons all his own. This cautionary tale is served up with equal helpings of whimsy and dread, with just a dash of hope. Those who appreciate the trippy, modern world on display in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" or "Being There."
