New York journalist John Kelso arrives in Savannah to do a brief Town and Country article on the annual Christmas party given by sophisticated, urbane antique dealer Jim Williams, who restored many mansions in Savannah, including the famed Mercer house where he lives. After the party, Williams kills his rude, violent lover Billy Hanson, explaining it as a necessary act of self-defense. Kelso decides to stay in Savannah to cover the trial, encountering a variety of colorful locals, eccentric and otherwise, including black transvestite nightclub performer Lady Chablis, financially challanged bon vivant Joe Odom, vocalist Mandy Nichols, voodoo priestess Minerva, and Williams' deceptivally powerful defense Sonny Seiler.
Vincent is one of the last "natural" babies born into a sterile, genetically enhanced world, where life expectancy and disease likelihood are ascertained at birth. Myopic and due to die at 30, he has no chance of a career in a society that now discriminates against your genes, instead of your gender, race, or religion. Going underground, he assumes the identity of Jerome, who was crippled in an accident, and achieves prominence in the Gattaca Corporation, where he is selected for his lifelong desire: a manned mission to Titan. Constantly passing gene tests by diligently using samples of Jerome's hair, skin, blood and urine, his now perfect world is thrown into increasing desperation, his dream within reach, when the mission director is killed--and he carelessly loses an eyelash at the scene. Certain that they know the murderer's ID, but unable to track down the former Vincent, the police start to close in with extra searches and new gene tests. With the once-in-a-lifetime launch only days away, Vincent must avoid arousing suspicion while passing tests, evading the police, and not knowing whom he can trust...
