Taekyung is a world-renowned brain organoid researcher—and a scientist known for his uncompromising ethics. Then his long-awaited son, Hajun, is born with a severe congenital brain malformation. Doctors believe he may not live past the age of five. When Hajun’s condition worsens at three, Taekyung turns to the one thing he has spent his career warning others not to rush into: human brain organoid transplantation. He has less than two years. In that time, he must accelerate immature neural tissue to a five-year developmental stage, make it vascularize, form normal neural circuits, survive transplantation, and integrate with his son’s growing brain. The science is nearly impossible. The surgery is unauthorized. And one by one, Taekyung begins breaking every rule he once believed was absolute. As a scientist, he crosses the line. As a father, he saves his son.
