Exceptionals, The

Synopsis:
Five years after participating in a fertility program experiment, two mothers, with distinctly different backgrounds, are faced with complicated choices surrounding their extraordinarily gifted children. Set in the near future, this wonderfully smart play of high-stakes social engineering sheds light upon the competitive sport of parenting and raises the question, how far would you go to provide your child every possible opportunity? Gwen and allie battle over their childrens - and their own - lots in life while learning that, perhaps, they need each other more than they realize to successfully raise their super babies.
