Synopsis
When an isolated Canadian Inuit population begins reproducing at an impossible rate, producing babies that mature in a single month, Dr. Joe West investigates and discovers evidence of alien intervention that has transformed them into a new, rapidly multiplying species. As the population explodes and threatens to overwhelm the planet, governments respond with increasingly desperate measures.
