What begins as hopeful science quickly descends into nightmare. The genetic modifications—enhanced lung capacity, nocturnal vision, and hyper-osseous bones—come at a cost. The subjects begin to exhibit disturbing side effects: heightened aggression, loss of empathy, and physical mutations that push them beyond the definition of "human."
