Halfway around the world, a man wakes up in a subterranean research facility. An international think tank of scientists known as the Jasons has discovered a way to bioengineer autistic children who rescued him. With the help of three unusual children, he makes his escape across a mountainous and radioactive countryside, pursued by savage hunters bred in the dead man's hand, an ancient relic that can be traced back to the first famous oracle of history—the Greek Oracle of Delphi.
