Britain is populated by genetically engineered neuts - no males, no females.
Joe is a boy - an anomaly who should have been destroyed in the pregnancy pod, or given corrective surgery as soon as he was born. Rescued by DiG, an underground network, he’s nurtured to full-term and handed over to his parents. His differences must be kept hidden.
