"In the not-too-distant future, men are largely extinct, women reproduce by cloning and Mother Earth is healing from a global catastrophe. Melissa is a 21-year-old health aid who learns from her elderly friend about a time when women fought over motherhood. She falls in with the notorious "zoo gang" and befriends the local zoo's only man. Helping him escape, she makes a shocking discovery that will change her world forever. "
