The four people gathered in the top-secret research facility seem at first to have nothing in common: Ford Maddox (HARRY HAMLIN) is a former spy, Rachel Sanders (NICOLE DEBOER) is a nurse, Roger Beckersly (AARON PEARL) is an Army Ranger and Louise McDonnaugh (BRIDGET O'SULLIVAN) is a computer programmer. What has brought them together is their telekinetic ability, a talent that Mr. Brown (ROBERT GUILLAUME), a CIA project head, hopes to exploit through the use of Teeks, devices that amplify telekinetic power. At first, Brown tries these individual's talents out on simple tasks - moving or crushing a granite block with their minds - but soon his true intentions are revealed. Their first real assignment, says Brown, is to use their powers to kill a Balkan terrorist leader and war criminal. Rachel objects to the assignment on moral grounds, but Brown forces her to take part by threatening to send her brother, a junky and small-time crook, to jail for life. With Rachel on board, the assassination is a success, as is the elimination of a pesky African revolutionary leader. But, the telekinetic powers produce unexpected side-effects and soon the killers find that they have become the prey.
