More Description

When biologist Christopher Bacon traveled to the rainforests of Papau New Guinea in search of medicinal plants, he had no idea that he would bring home a flower rumored to prevent aging. Chris conducts secret experiments on the flower's extract in his Boston lab, only to find that the test animals are not only rejuvenated, but that they've stopped aging altogether. Soon, Chris finds himself tampering with Nature, and the consequences are unimaginably horrific.
