A man investigating the murder of his brother uncovers a
mind-control project controlled by a super-intelligent computer.
When Scott Bowman (D.B. Sweeney) gets an urgent message from his
brother Peter, he decides to drive back to their hometown of Halford,
Washington to see what is wrong. When he gets there, he discovers
that Peter is dead and his wife Eilleen has been charged with his
murder. But that's not the only shock awaiting Scott. The town where
he grew up has been transformed. Antenna towers dot the landscape
and the people act strangely, as if they are under some kind of
sporadic mind control. Scott goes to the jail to visit Eileen, where
she warns him about the towers...just moments before grabbing the
Sheriff's gun and killing herself.
This turn of events convinces Scott that he needs to investigate
further and he meets with a former colleague of Peter's, Dr. Jim
Holbrook (Edward Evanko), who seems friendly, but doesn't give Scott
any information. Scott doesn't know where to turn next, when out of
the blue, a young girl who was a former student of Peter, shows up
and tells Scott about a book that holds the secret to what is known
as Project Halford. Scott finds the book and a video tape which
reveals the Army's plan to construct a neural computer network that
would communicate directly with the brain. It also reveals that the
project spun out of control and that Peter stole vital codes in an
attempt to halt the computer's drive to take over the minds of the
townspeople. There's enough information there to stop the plan, but
who can Scott trust to help him?
