Four people with distinctly different backgrounds all volunteer for an experiment involving mind-altering and manipulation. The volunteers all gather at a secret laboratory and are subject to a series of procedures that border on torture, including shock therapy and psychological torture. The final portion of the procedure involves the test subjects exposure to an experimental device that alters the participants' minds through the exposure of their innermost fears and darkest secrets. As it seems to be with such experimental testing, something goes wrong with the procedure and the test subjects and scientists suffer the horrible results.
