Eddie Spinola, a struggling writer, takes an experimental smart drug, MDT-48, that unleashes his full mental potential. He becomes a stock-market genius, amasses a fortune, and brokers a billion-dollar merger. But the drug causes terrifying blackouts and brutal behavior. His supply is cut off, triggering a fatal withdrawal. Desperate and cornered by a loanshark, Eddie kills him, becomes a fugitive, and flees to a motel, where he writes his confession as his life unravels completely.
