What happens in Metamorphosis from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Geneticist Peter Houseman, Gene LeBrock, a professor at a private university, leads bold research on a DNA-based serum he claims could halt aging and even conquer death, with the steady support of his friend Dr. Mike Lester, Harry Cason, and his eager young collaborator Willy Carson, David Wicker. A funding commission reviews his ongoing requests, bringing into the room the elderly Professor Lloyd, Stephen Brown, whose envy borders on bitterness, and Inspector Sally Donnelly, Catherine Baranov, a figure Peter is drawn to as much as he is scrutinized. The commission’s skepticism and bureaucratic hurdles push Peter to test the serum on himself, using a batch of the modified DNA he has created.
