Sofia is a lap dancer with a commendably chaotic life. She's single, occasionally shagging her ex, and pretty damn happy. Then the Angel Gabriel appears to tell her she's pregnant with possibility - specifically the new Messiah. Sofia doesn't own a watch let alone a biological clock - but there's no denying she's pregnant. She falls out with her ex and falls in love with Gabriel. Who's falling too. The world may well want a new saviour, but this time the perfect mother is feeling less than magnificent about the prospect.
Stella Duffy twists a flick knife into the first year zero and transposes the Immaculate Conception to the 21st century in this sharp-edged portrait of a modern woman confronting more than just the miracle of pregnancy. It forces her to reassess her beliefs, her relationships, her life, and to ask: whose body is it anyway?
