Ralphy is the story of a typical Midwestern U.S. family into whose lives is thrust a misfit, a boy who was born flat and resembles a fish. Ralphy is a throwback to the time when human beings made a wrong turn and separated themselves from the other animals. In Breakthrough, Arthur M. Raintree, Ph.D., achieves his lifelong desire to become a research scientist, but discovers that his work is of far less importance than living in peace and love with his family. In the year 2020, the government has become a wasteland of military and religious righteousness. There is only one person who can save us from self-destruction before it is too late, a genius who is prepared to die in order to accomplish this revolution.
