Plot summary
John Kirby, who is mentally ill, kills two members of the household where he has been living in a small Texas town. Dan Stevens, the sheriff, and Charlie, his deputy, arrest him, but Kirby breaks out of the handcuffs, grabs a shotgun and overpowers the other officers, and they shoot him. Badly hurt, Kirby is taken to an institute where his psychiatrist, Dr. Tom Halman, works with two geneticists, Dr. Philip Spires and Dr. Paul Vaughn. Spires wants to save Kirby with a formula he and Paul Vaughn created to boost cellular strength and regeneration. Tom objects because of Kirby's psychosis. Spires gives the formula anyway, and Kirby wakes nearly mute and almost impossible to harm.
