THE SECRET IS PART OF HIM.
Although Eli Samuels is barely out of high school, he's offered a job at prestigious Wyatt Transgenics by Dr. Quincy Wyatt, the legendary molecular biologist.

Something to do with his mother, who is now debilitated by Huntington's disease. As Eli works at the lab, and spends time with Dr. Wyatt, he begins to uncover some disconcerting information—about himself....
