 In the future, Humanity suffers from an unexpected and unexplained breakdown in the ability to reproduce offspring.No children have been born in the 6 years prior to the start of the series, with the last 6 of them being treated as national treasures.After years of experimentation, a scientist has managed to fertilize 100 eggs in a lab, which the president has decided to give to 100 people through a national lottery.Enter into this: a fertility doctor who has managed to fertilize 100 random eggs, and the father of one of the aforementioned children, who has just kidnapped him to keep him out of the government's hands.To top it off, we have a mysterious government conspiracy to keep the fertilized eggs from their natural mothers.This sci-fi show was shown on Lifetime in the US. It has a lot of spoilers that are currently unmarked, as it would take up the entire page. It was canceled after one season.Not to be confused with "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.
