Summary
On a snowy morning in Canada, the life of a man going through a divorce turns into a nightmare as dark secrets and brutal murders seep out from the isolated clinic where his wife is confined. David Cronenberg centers his sci-fi horror narrative on physical mutilation and psychological breakdowns. The disintegration that begins on the treatment tables quickly evolves into uncontrollable mutations. Echoing through the cold streets of Toronto, this clinical experiment brings to the stage deformed beings that reveal the darkest corners of the mind.
