In the not-too-distant future, a less-than-perfect man wants to travel
to the stars. Society has categorized Vincent Freeman as less than
suitable given his genetic make-up and he has become one of the
underclass of humans that are only useful for menial jobs. To move
ahead, he assumes the identity of Jerome Morrow, a perfect genetic
specimen who is a paraplegic as a result of a car accident. With
professional advice, Vincent learns to deceive DNA and urine sample
testing. Just when he is finally scheduled for a space mission, his
program director is killed and the police begin an investigation,
jeopardizing his secret.
