When Nina Harper and Bryan Nelson see the sign, they think it's too good to be true. All they have to do is watch television with electrodes strapped to their heads, some guy takes notes, and Nina and Bryan get paid. It's a cinch.
But nobody tells them about the side effects. Nobody tells them that every student who takes part in the experiment changes - really changes. At first the students' behaviour turns a little weird, then it gets disturbing. Before long it grows horribly, brutally violent.
Nina seems safe from the side effects - for now. But will she be safe from the vicious attacks sweeping the campus...and from Bryan?
