Set in the near future, The Exceptionals is a smart and compelling exploration of parenthood in a new millennium that asks where you draw the line between eugenics and the desire to give your child the best possible start. Gwen and Allie are both mothers of 'exceptional' five-year-old boys who were conceived through a prestigious donor insemination program that specializes in creating exceptionally smart children. Today, these mothers are being offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to allow their little boys to realize their full potential, but no choice is without sacrifice. These two mothers must decide how far they are willing to go in order to ensure their children grow up to be truly exceptional.
