Two eccentric scientists brew a nutrient that makes life grow without limit. Soon hens, weeds, rats—and children—swell to monstrous size, turning farms into jungles and towns into battlegrounds. As frightened authorities move to crush the “giants,” a new generation refuses to shrink back. A darkly comic fable of invention, fear, and the price of progress when growth becomes destiny.
