In this hospital horror tale, Drs. McCann (Isabel Glasser) and Hendricks (James Remar) take on a dangerous operation when, in order to prove McCann's innocence, they begin investigating the gruesome experiments of Dr. Stein (Malcolm McDowell). McCann and Hendricks ultimately come up against the diabolical Dr. Matar (Sean Haberle), whose shady past has led him into the realm of insanity. Peter Boyle co-stars as police lieutenant McEllwaine.

One doctor uses live patients for his experiments while another one kills them in a twisted plot of revenge. A boy who witnesses his brother being killed during surgery, grows up to become a monster with a scalpel. Dr. Julian Mater is suspended and gets his license revoked for performing cellular regeneration experiments on dying patients. After a couple of years, he returns to the hospital that condemned his work to begin practicing his grizzly experiments once more.

Sentenced to prison in Montana, Clay Treyton (Kyle Chandler) winds up living at a convict ranch operated by an enterprising warden (Ben Gazzara). Here, Clay gets a chance to learn about rodeo riding from former champion and fellow inmate Ry Weston (Jon Voight). As the bond between the veteran and fledgling cowboys strengthens, Clay must find a way to withstand the pressure being exerted on him by other drug-dealing cons.
