"All men are sterile in the world of a few decades hence, as the result of an ill-advised atmospheric test. All, that is, except for 0.005% of the male population, the 'seedies', who are kept in isolated clinical redoubts. Here they are milked of the precious fertile seed on which the future of human life depends. They are hated, for obvious reasons, by the sterile 'randies' and 'queers' who comprise the two main male divisions of society outside the seedies' sealed world. Even so, each seedy must pe5iodically venture out for a day to experience at first hand the frenetic, debauched life of the majority of mankind. This is the story of one such day in the life of Tim, a fifteen-year-old seedy. Outside, he is soon dangerously involved -- with a drug-taking gang of 'queers', and evil pusher and the pusher's sister, anxious to get pregnant while she can.
