The Midnight Project

When enigmatic billionaire Burton Sykes walks into Raina and Cedric's bespoke reproductive assistance clinic, Re-Gene-eration, they know they have a very unusual client. Rather than seeking a guarantee of beauty or brains for his offspring, Mr. Sykes asks them to create a very special type of human, one that can survive the ocean depths. Haunted by guilt over past failures, Raina is tempted by the chance to help, while Cedric worries their benefactor will do this with or without them, and with a scientist who is less scrupulous. But when disaster strikes, they begin to wonder how trustworthy Mr. Sykes really is.
