A dark sci-fi horror about the moral costs of scientific ambition, where researchers' pursuit of breakthrough regeneration technology through unethical means spirals into body-horror consequences.

Young scientist Elizabeth Barnes (Tiffany Shepis) and her group of researchers are conducting illegal stem cell research, and discover a cell anomaly that has the potential to regenerate dead tissue. Unable to conduct legal human trials, the researchers turn to corpses to test their serum.
