A young man becomes afflicted with a disease so rare that there is no record of it anywhere in world history. He is allergic to water. When a special secret research division of the U.S. Government gets wind of this, they aggressively offer to take this man "under their wing" for an indefinite period of time until a cure is found. As he resides comfortably for a number of years in a heavily secured facility with Level 4 visitation privileges, a question soon arises. Are the intentions of the government to help him...or themselves?
