Saffron Cassaday is at her wit’s end after suffering from ulcerative colitis for nearly a decade. She decides to try a promising new treatment known as Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) - the act of taking stool from a healthy donor and implanting it into the gut of a sick patient. From convincing her partner to be her donor (Who says chivalry is dead?), to turning their apartment into a makeshift production facility for what some are calling “brown gold,” Saffron spares no details in her quest to uncover what some experts believe could be the biggest medical breakthrough of the 21st century.
