Independent-minded femme fatale, Helvetica Bold (DARCY DUNLOP) is having a child - her way. But when the sperm bank operator Rosetta Stone (MONICA TAP) mysteriously commits suicide, Helvetica Bold turns to gumshoe Dick Valard (ANDY CURTIS). His investigation leads him to the hapless astronomer Maxwell (MARK DAVID STEWART), a participant in strange dream experiments in Rosetta Stone's lab and as it turns out also Helvetica Bold's unwitting sperm donor. As Valard probes deeper, he begins to unravel an intricate web that entangles an array of eccentric characters until Maxwell's Demon finally catches up with him.
