Lee Weathers a corporate risk management officer, a troubleshooter, and she's sent to a top secret location to investigate and evaluate a recent accident, where Morgan (an child created by synthetic DNA) has stabbed one of the company's scientists in the eye in a seemingly unprovoked attack. Weathers is supposed to be there to find out what went wrong and judge Morgan in terms psychological stability and of the overall profit to the company.
Lee immediately senses that Morgan might be too dangerous and unpredictable to keep going with. Despite the pleas of other scientists that see Morgan as a daughter, Lee only sees her as an inferior company product that needs to be stopped. Things reach a breaking point when a psychologist (played by Paul Giamatti) pushes her feelings enough to murder him and to try and make an escape. It becomes a cat and mouse chase when Lee follows Morgan into the woods to eliminate her.
This movie was directed by Lee Scott, the son of acclaimed Ridley Scott, and you can certianly feel the father's influence in this movie. Very much like the Science Fiction/Horror of Alien, this movie will keep you guessing until the very end.
