That's not right. Newton had heard stories about the sketchy old donut shop and the strange things that happened to those who dared to enter. He had assumed they were exaggerated tall tales, growing wilder over time. It wouldn't be long before he realized the truth was more dangerous, bizarre, and fascinating than he could imagine.

It poses no threat to you at all. The irrational portion, however, is not so easily fooled. This is a story about risks, after all. Well, there's also a secret underground lab, human experimentation, a homemade space-car, aliens, clones, and donuts.
