Dr. Martin Nodel (RON RIFKIN) is the most brilliant geneticist in the world, so his students and the university staff are willing to put up with a few eccentricities — unlike his son Paul, (RYAN REYNOLDS) who gets impatient with his father's behavior. Dr. Nodel's behavior goes beyond eccentric, however, after he unveils his research into introns, mysterious genetic material which he believes hold the code for future evolution. After a successful animal test, Nodel secretly tries the formula on himself, with amazing and disturbing results.
As his intelligence begins to grow, Dr. Nodel sprouts scales on his hands, strange markings on his body, and a mysterious hole in his back. And he seems to be getting subconscious messages telling him to bring 'subjects' to a remote wilderness location.
Finally Dr. Nodel gives in to the messages. He travels to the required location, accompanied by six students, including Paul and his girlfriend. Upon arriving, they find a group of heavily armed soldiers — and the key to unlocking a mystery that goes far beyond human science.
