    Doggone Aliens

    A rebellious young woman takes the job of a surrogate in order to earn some money to promote her art career. She is harsh and sees no pitfalls to her decision. She becomes part of a forced support group and in the process, sees some suspicious things going on. She is most annoying because despite all the signs of what is happening, she continues to defy her better judgment. In comes an FBI agent who has gotten wind that the folks at the hospital are up to no good. She must decide whether to listen to him or fall back on her own stubbornness. The thing is, young surrogates keep losing their babies in the late term, but act quite calm when this happens. Anyway, this is yet another cynical episode.
