Tutto comincia da una singola cellula. Una sola, tra migliaia di miliardi. Una cellula che si divide in due cellule uguali, e poi lo fa ancora, e ancora, e ancora, dieci, cento, mille, un milione di volte; una proliferazione che procede impetuosa e senza freni, seguendo la spinta allimmortalità iscritta nei geni. Una corsa paradossale, che porta la cellula a moltiplicarsi fino al punto di pagarne essa stessa il prezzo, uccidendo il corpo ospitante e scomparendo quindi assieme a lui.
