VJ, al nacer, es un niño físicamente perfecto y demuestra una inteligencia asombrosa a los tres años, lo que llena de orgullo a Frank.

Tenía oportunidad de manipular la genética para engendrar al hijo perfecto, pero lo que obtuvo fue el terror de cualquier padre.
El Dr. Victor Frank, ginecólogo e ingeniero biomolecular, desea tener un hijo con su esposa, que padece infertilidad. Para conseguirlo decide fecundar un óvulo de ella con su propio esperma e implantarlo en un útero de alquiler. Pero además, y en secreto, manipula genéticamente al embrión a efectos de crear un ser superdotado.
VJ, al nacer, es un niño físicamente perfecto. A los tres años ya demuestra una increíble inteligencia, lo que hace sentir a Frank muy orgulloso de su experimento. Un tiempo después VJ sufre un cambio y su nivel intelectual disminuye hasta adaptarse a lo que sería normal para un niño de su edad. Frank se muestra tranquilo pues, a pesar de todo, el arriesgado experimento no muestra efectos adversos. No obstante, la siguiente trasformación que sufre VJ no es tan aceptable, sino más bien aterradora.
Mutación es una inquietante recreación del mito de Frankenstein en la época actual, de la mano de un maestro del techno-thriller.
