The narrator, Seri, shares a complicated family story. She and her twin sister, Sally, were raised by their single mother in poverty. Seri is cynical and pragmatic, while Sally is more optimistic. A college professor, Mr. Jeffers, becomes involved with both sisters, and Seri discovers he is secretly working for a wealthy man, Steven, who wants to have children with women from their family, as he had been in love with their grandmother 40 years ago. Steven hires Mr. Jeffers to seduce and impregnate the women in Seri's family, offering them $100,000 each. Unbeknownst to the women, they all become pregnant with Mr. Jeffers' children, including Seri, Sally, their mother, and even their grandmother.
