Potential parents Dan and Peg live in a world that rewards high self-control above all else. When a new product, Trial Child, a robotic replica of a couples' would-be child, becomes available, they jump at the opportunity to prepare themselves for parenthood. But when Dan and Peg's Trial Child, Torrent, is less than what they'd hoped for, the ground beneath their feet begins to tremble with the awkward sensation that maybe everything they've come to believe is a bunch of crap.
