- A psycho-physiologist experiments with drugs and a sensory-deprivation tank and has visions he believes are genetic memories.
- In the late 1960s, just for a lark, graduate student Eddie Jessup, known for being unconventional, brilliant and slightly mad, conducts experiments with an isolation chamber, using himself as the subject. His experiences in the chamber cause him to hallucinate, much of the imagery being religious-based although he's not religious. Seven years later, he is a respected full professor in the Harvard Medical School. Believing he has lost his edge and fallen into an unwanted state of respectability, Eddie decides to resume his work with sensory deprivation, this time using hallucinogens, specifically untested ones used in mystical Mexican rituals, to enhance the isolation-take experience. After initial tests, he claims he entered an alternate physical and mental state. Although unbelieving of Eddie's claims, his colleagues Arthur Rosenberg and Mason Parrish, as well as Eddie's wife Emily, herself a respected academic, are concerned for Eddie's well being. However, if Eddie's claims are indeed true, he could do irreparable harm to himself and others around him, especially if his altered states are uncontrollable.—Huggo
- Respected scientist and psychology professor Edward Jessup decides to combine his experiments in sensory deprivation tanks with powerful hallucinogenic drugs, convinced it may help him unlock different states of consciousness. The experiments are a success at first, but as Jessup continues his work he begins to experience altered mental and physical states. As he spends more time in sensory deprivation, his grip on reality slips away.
- The brilliant Eddie Jessup has PhD in medicine and is conducting experiments with students with an isolation chamber. He decides to be the subject of his experiments with the support of his colleague and friend Mason Parrish and has religious visions. Then he goes to a party, where he meets Emily, who falls in love with him and asks him to marry her. Seven years later, they are married with children and both work in Harvard Medical School. Eddie believes he is too conventional and respectful in Harvard, and decides to travel to Mexico to meets Prof. Eccheverria and participate in an Indian ritual with mushrooms and other hallucinogens. When he returns home, he brings the drug and uses an isolation chamber to increase its effects under the supervision of Mason and Arthur Rosenberg. But soon he becomes uncontrollable and Emily, Mason and Arthur fear for his fate.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
