The Tweak

Desperate to save humanity from an intergalactic death sentence, a newbie cosmic coach ignites a genetic upgrade that makes planetary peace possible but also gets men pregnant, upending the lives of her most critical test subjects: two woke millennials, a gay couple, their hypocrite senator, and the doctor she didn’t plan to love.
Based on the novel, The Tweak, by Lanie Lanowitz
