Film Synopsis

From childhood, Jimbo Farrar has known that he is endowed with a special power, to control others by his will and turn them into marionettes.  When he becomes the lead researcher of the Killian Foundation for gifted children, Jimbo sets out to find other children who share his unnatural ability.  He organises an online game which brings him into contact with five adolescent prodigies whom he assembles in New York.  It turns out to be a big mistake.  Neglected and misunderstood by others throughout their lives, these five youngsters are brimming with resentment.  Realising how much power they have together, they decide to take their revenge.  The only person who can stop them from wreaking havoc on the world is Jimbo, but why should he not join them...?
