The testers, for their part, strive to discover the existence of the new drugs and develop ways to screen for them, driving the bad guys to modify them further, and so on.

The staff includes eccentric brain surgeon Dr. Hook (Andrew McCarthy) and pompous chief neurologist Dr. Stegman (Bruce Davison). Among the patients is a psychic (Diane Ladd), who, like Rickman, is picking up weird vibes...
