Premise

The premise of the show was that Ed Bellamy (Jack Noseworthy) discovered on his 20th birthday that he was an unknowing subject of a childhood medical experiment. Microchips had been implanted in his brain, which make him a genius but will also kill him by his 21st birthday. Ed, accompanied by Maria Cavalos (Lisa Dean Ryan), tries to find a way to prevent his death. The research center then gave the order to terminate the project and eliminate anyone involved. The center frames Ed for a murder and sends Agent Winston (Whip Hubley) to capture him.
