The story follows a cocky researcher named Sebastian Caine, who leads a scientific team in their efforts to reach a major breakthrough in this field. As the project advances, Caine decides to move to the next phase of experimentation by using himself as the test subject. Although the procedure is initially a success, the team discovers that the process cannot be reversed. Caine is left facing a future without flesh, a condition that leads to a significant shift in his behavior. As his situation becomes permanent, he begins to turn increasingly dangerous toward those around him. The film explores the consequences of the experiment and the subsequent instability of the lead researcher after he undergoes the transformation.
