headlight, an oncoming train, and a man standing paralyzed in its path.
and his "mind" is computing escape solutions...
Joseph Graybar, an FBI special agent lands in India
to apprehend a criminal from the United States, and finds himself in the middle
of a violent world, where the local police are hot on the heels of a gang of
outlaws. His quarry, an Indian citizen, becomes the newest member of this gang,
and raises the stake by a personal wager with the head outlaw, an illiterate
cutthroat with an immense ego.
Stuck in a foreign land with strange customs, and
even stranger situations, Joseph becomes an impotent bystander, as the wager
exacerbates from one gory act to another. The murder of a local movie actor can
only be bested by an assassination attempt on a much grander scale; embroiling
in its wake a homosexual commando, a scheming politician and a vengeful madam.
To add to Joseph's frustration, a long-standing
stomach ailment turns into a painful gastric ulcer requiring immediate
treatment.
His Indian counterpart suggests a local research
institution and Joseph agrees to try it, albeit reluctantly as he is doubtful
of local medical expertise.
To his surprise, not only is he quickly cured of his
ulcer, but is introduced to an astonishing world of international cutting-edge
research where Indian know-how and American expertise blend to produce
revolutionary remedies. His physician,
Dr. Krishna, introduces him to a visiting American, Dr. Redding, and Joseph
gradually discovers that the two physicians comprise a dynamic team who
complement each others strengths - Dr. Krishna's judicious conservatism
tempering the brilliant genius of Dr. Redding, in their unorthodox quest to
alleviate human suffering.
Little does Joseph realize that soon he will become
an active participant in a radical experiment involving a brain implant...
