In a mansion facing the beach in Malibu, California, we find Charles Darwin. Believing that the heated debate around the book “On the Origin of Species” is long gone, he seeks refuge on tabloid horoscopes and erotic novels made for summer reading. That is, until his old friend Thomas Huxley shows up, along with the Bishop of Oxford, to tangle him up in a life-or-death comedy about God and science, love, loss, and the sex life of barnacles.
