It stars Bill Bernhard as Dr. Anton Lupeski, Jennifer Brown as his assistant Sage and Tom Ciorciari as Dick Cutler. The film begins with Dr. Lupeski, a brilliant scientist, facing the Board of Health in his laboratory. The Board is concerned about his experiments with a new serum called the "Soultangler." The serum has the power to transfer souls from one body to another.

Dr. Lupeski argues that his experiments are for the betterment of mankind and that his breakthrough could cure numerous diseases. However, the Board is not convinced and orders him to cease his experiments immediately. Dr. Lupeski continues his work in secret with the help of his assistant Sage.

One day, Dick Cutler, a man who is desperate to regain his youth, comes to Dr. Lupeski's lab seeking his help. Lupeski agrees to help him, and Dick becomes the first human to receive the Soultangler serum. However, something goes wrong during the process, and Dick Cutler awakens as a monster with superhuman strength.

As Dr. Lupeski tries to find a way to reverse the damage, he discovers that the monster is not Dick Cutler, but an entity that has taken over his body. The creature has the ability to transfer souls, and it begins to take over other people's bodies. Dr. Lupeski realizes that he has unleashed a monster on the world and starts to feel guilty for playing God.
