Scientists excavating in Alaska discover a beast-man frozen in ice for a million years and transport him to a laboratory for study, hoping he'll finally unlock the mystery of human evolution. When electrical shock treatments accidentally revive him, the creature escapes into the woods—but as they track him down, his cryptic final words about "people who came from the sky" raise more questions about mankind's origins than answers. What he reveals before his death leaves the researchers with an even deeper puzzle about where humanity truly came from.

In a Chelsea laboratory, father-and-son scientists Dr. Amos Carter and Dr. Steven Carter have built a machine to unlock the vast unused portions of the human mind—and their initial test yields astonishing results.

Dr. Carter must fight his way through a barrier of pure intellect to reach the machine before the unleashed intelligence consumes them all.
