A dark sci-fi horror premise about a parasitic experiment gone catastrophically wrong, built on outbreak dread and the corruption of human enhancement.

In 1989, a breakthrough in "advanced parasitic research" on Cuttyhunk Island gave scientists a jump in human evolution. Initial tests proved promising, as subjects experienced heightened physical and mental strength and awareness. But - something in the experiment went horribly wrong, and the island mysteriously lost three quarters of its population.
