|---|
A scientist uses a slow-witted man gardener for his experiments on increasing intelligence. The experiments work, but the side effects are too much for the gardener to bear. His suddenly increased intelligence, and combined with some bad experiences at the hands of a priest, turns into extraordinary abilities, anger, and madness. What starts as a search for a new identity turns into a rampage, and the scientist must fight to destroy him before he destroys everything around him.
