In a small psychiatric hospital in the early 20th century, an amateur scientist, Dr. Marjorie, desperately seeks a way to experiment with the human mind. Upon learning of a new treatment that allows doctors to access patients' thoughts, he decides to embark on a risky research project. His aim is to demonstrate that the insane may be capable of developing superior abilities, despite their condition.
While working on his project, Dr. Marjorie meets a young man who appears to be suffering from severe mental disorders. However, as he studies him, he discovers that the boy possesses exceptional intelligence and special skills. Fascinated, the scientist begins to experiment on him, straddling the line between ethics and personal ambition, dragging his colleague, Dr. Curtis, into a moral dilemma.
As the plot unfolds, the consequences of these mental manipulations become terrifying. What begins as a quest for knowledge turns into a dark game of control and vulnerability. The young patient, while navigating his own internal battles, starts to manifest powers that go beyond the comprehension of his captors. The struggle for control of the mind culminates in an emotional climax that questions the boundaries between madness and genius, leaving everyone wondering if the price of knowledge is worth it.
