Nearly 20 years after the Orestes virus swept across the earth, finally, there is hope. Women are no longer dying within seconds of giving birth. The global population is on an upward trend. As the world returns to normal, Antimone is back on the athletics track, a single race away from achieving her lifetime goal of winning the Olympic 1500-meter Wheelchair gold medal.

When the details of her past become exposed, ruthless forces prepare an audacious plan.

In 1975, a group of amazing women rowed their way to international success and glory, battling sexual prejudice, bureaucracy, and male domination. Among the members of the first international women's crew team - and one of the first women's teams anywhere - were Gail Pearson, the soft-spoken MIT professor who fought to win the political battles necessary for her team to succeed; lead rower Carie Graves, a statuesque bohemian from rural Wisconsin who dropped out of college and later became the most intense rower of the crew; and Lynn Stillman, a tiny 16-year-old, Californian coxswain.

For nearly a decade, Simone Biles has dazzled gymnastics fans across the globe with jaw-dropping flips, twists, and dismounts.
