Alice Taylor is the psychological backbone of her husband Samuel's groundbreaking — and secret — human cloning project. She's good at her job: collecting DNA, assessing surrogates, keeping everyone calm and compliant. She keeps her distance. She doesn't get attached.

Then she harvests cells from a four-year-old boy with a lisp and a pirate joke, and everything starts to crack.

Subject 23 is the origin story behind Love, Lies & Clones — a quiet, emotional gut-punch of a prequel about the woman who started it all, the surrogate who almost stopped it, and the choice that changed everything.
