About

Unwieldy Creatures, a biracial, queer, nonbinary retelling of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein, follows the stories of three beings navigating life from the margins.

Plum, a queer biracial Chinese intern at one of the world's top embryology labs, runs away from home to openly be with her girlfriend—only to be left on her own.

Dr. Frank, a queer biracial Indonesian scientist, compromises everything she claims to love in the name of science and ambition when she sets out to procreate without sperm or egg.

And Dr. Frank's nonbinary creation, painstakingly brought into the world, is abandoned due to complications at birth that result from a cruel twist of revenge.

Plum struggles to determine the limits of her own ambition when Dr. Frank offers her a chance to assist with her next project. How far will Plum go in the name of scientific advancement, and what is she willing to risk?
