Introduction

A criminal wrongly convicted of murder is given a choice: to be the subject of a dangerous experiment with alien DNA, or the death penalty.

Opening Narration

"When the machinations of fear collide with man's inventive genius the result can be both irreversible and terrifying."

Plot

Stiles is a wrongly convicted murderer of 11 of people and is offered a choice between his execution and his cooperation with a experiment. His Christian beliefs don't allow him to make any choice but to go through with what turns out to be a genetic experiment to splice his genes with extraterrestrial genes. What surmises is Stiles becoming more and more of a horrific monster with increased thought and increased senses. He escapes in what turns out to be a intentional manhunt as they wanted him to escape so they can hunt him down. When the end comes near for the now mutated Stiles the tables turn on what appears to be other aliens that resemble the now mutated Stiles. They beam away leaving the rest of the people that are in pursuit to realize they were being tested by the aliens and they failed to make the grade.

Closing Narration

"Can the true reason we so fear the unknown be that we know ourselves...too well?"
