A straightforward superhero action TV movie about a government agent gaining super-speed powers to stop a mutant terrorist, balancing high-octane action with the physical cost of his abilities.

Government agent Daniel Leight has his radiation treatments sabotaged. He soon finds that he can now move at super speeds but only by risking metabolic damage which could prove to be fatal. 'Lightspeed' must now use his powers to go after old friend turned terrorist who is now a mutant half-snake called Python.
