A fifteen-year-old boy with loss of movement and sensation in his right side, is adopted from a Catholic orphanage by an elderly woman. The woman lived a reclusive life as a physician and brilliant medical researcher. During seven years of living together, they discovered one another to have spectacular research talents and set out to discover if they could invade animal and human minds to learn what it is like to know others from within. Will they use such research for altruistic or selfish explorations?
