A mid-century sci-fi horror about obsession and inherited monstrosity, where a family struggles to contain the consequences of dangerous experimentation.

The son of the inventor of a matter-transporter, which turned him into a monster when he tried to transport himself along with a tiny housefly, continues to pursue his father's experiment, while his own two sons attempt to extricate him, themselves and the family name from further disaster and scandal.
