Accompanied by his autistic brother Shep, artist Dylan O'Connor is driving to Santa Fe to attend an arts festival, but stops for the night at an Arizona motel. Also staying at the same facility is comedian Jillian Jackson, but neither knows the other. From out of a B horror movie starring a mad doctor, a stranger injects Dylan and Jilly with a mysterious serum. He informs his guinea pigs that they are carriers with an incredible future or a quick death, but now must flee for his enemies are near.
Disbelieving and frightened, Dylan and Jilly realize they must run when her Cadillac explodes. With Shep acting stranger than ever, the trio goes on the lam. Jillian begins seeing visions; Dylan turns obsessed with a need to be the ultimate Good Samaritan; and. Shep teleports himself and others. With the doctor dead, there is no one to guide them and probably no turning back. Also they must deal with their deceased experimenter's enemy who wants them dead too.
