Alice, a sociology researcher, and Volodymyr, a pianist, are going to have a child! They will call him Ulysses. Except that Ulysses, at one year old, doesn't fit the growth charts. Too small, too thin, and he still isn't walking. The verdict comes down: Ulysses won't be like the others. But how will he be?
