One by one, the doors to their troubled pasts are opened and for each guest, an intense emotional rollercoaster begins. But Bart has dark unresolved secrets of his own.

They’re not gone long. When they re-emerge, nothing seems wrong. Ringleader Ara Coombs is blamed for leading them astray. Before long it transpires: all sixteen girls are pregnant. But the pregnancies are unlike anything the local doctor has ever seen; blood tests are atypical, hormonal changes too rapid, mineral traces in urine defy analysis. There’s something unusual
– something human, but not quite - about what these girls are carrying. And whatever it is, it’s growing fast. Who will survive to bring their children into the world? Should they be allowed to?
