When Ted, a withdrawn bachelor, suddenly becomes plagued by reoccurring black outs that appear to be transporting him to a mysterious location, he enlists the help of an interested neighbor girl and an old high school science wiz to discover the cause. They begin piecing together clues that indicate a mysterious significance to Ted's house, neighborhood, and even his town and how they relate to an immense, borderline supernatural experiment gone awry in the 1940s. Ted learns that not only is the abandoned experiment much larger than he would have ever imagined, but its dangerous secrets may be the key to finding his missing mother, the history of his family, and solving a centuries-old mystery.
