The storyline revolves around a group of scientists who work in a secret government research facility, experimenting with a device that can transfer animals' minds into computers. The scientists are keeping their experiments hidden from the public eye and the government, as they fear their project might be shut down if it is discovered. However, things start to go wrong when a group of visitors arrives at the lab, including a young woman named Denise (Laster) who is the daughter of one of the scientists.

Along with Denise, several other visitors are brought to the facility for an experiment, however, they soon realize that something is not right. They start to experience strange occurrences, such as being attacked by animals, and they begin to suspect that the experiments have gone wrong.

As the weekend progresses, the scientists and their guests become trapped in the laboratory, unable to leave due to the automated security systems. Tensions rise as they begin to uncover the horrifying effects of the experimental device. The animals that have been experimented on have become sentient machines, capable of moving from one computer to another, and now they have set their sights on revenge.

The group must fight for their survival as they are hunted down by the computerized animals. One of the visitors, Jack (Midkiff), uncovers the cause of the malfunction, and together they find a way to stop the experiments from causing any more harm.
