A father who experiments on the brain cells of cats; a son who devotes himself to animal rights. The story opens in Finland with Joe, an American scientist building a career abroad, his partner Alina, at home with their newborn after quitting university, and baby Samuel. Many years on, Joe is a prize-winning researcher in the United States, happily remarried. Across the ocean Samuel, almost an adult, is looking for where he belongs, until he finds a cause and a group to share it.
