In 1967 the President of the United States is confronted in the
Oval office by a team of America's leading geneticists who seek his
approval to begin a new, top secret experiment. Reluctantly the
President agrees. But kneeling in bedside prayer that night, the
President begs forgiveness for allowing The Einstein Experiment to
commence. Four decades later all bar one of the geneticists who
beseeched the President have been mysteriously killed. The team's
sole survivor, Professor Timothy Laenker, on his deathbed reveals
to his daughter, Cynthia, also a geneticist, the truth of the
experiment. Albert Einstein's DNA was replicated seven times.
Science wanted to channel the potential brain power of Einstein for
the betterment of the world. In order to test the ancient conflict
between genetic inheritance and social inheritance - nature versus
nurture- the seven babies were scattered throughout the world in
different milieu - London, Manhattan, Nebraska, Rome, Beverly
Hills, Brooklyn and Berlin - completely unaware of their unique
background. But the US Government, now anxious to reinforce its
leadership in genetic reproduction, suddenlydecides to summons the
seven Einsteins to Washington, in order to proudly proclaim the
experiment. Professor Laenker's relationship with Cynthia is
strained. She feels his womanising killed her mother. But she
agrees to try to contact the seven and warn them their existence is
about to be exploited by headline hungry politicians. Cynthia's
involvement leads to her to falling tragically in love with one of
the seven Einsteins, as well as being pursued threateningly by
government agents trying to abort her interference. Kill her first.
Apologize later, is the order.
