Description: Arrogant scientist Sebastian Caine creates a serum for the military that renders subjects invisible. His team, including ex-girlfriend Linda McKay, Matt Kensington, Sarah, Janice, Carter, and Frank, successfully reverses the procedure, restoring an invisible gorilla to visibility. Sebastian reignites his obsession with Linda, unaware of her relationship with Matt.
Instead of informing the military of his breakthrough, Sebastian deceives an oversight committee, including his mentor Howard Kramer, claiming he needs more time. He persuades part of the team to conduct unauthorized human testing, leaving others uninformed. The procedure works, turning Sebastian completely invisible.
Initially, he enjoys sneaking around the lab, playing pranks and scaring his colleagues, even harassing Sarah. Concerned by his behavior, the team grows uneasy. An attempt to restore his visibility fails, nearly killing him.
Confined to the lab, Sebastian is fitted with a latex mask. Struggling with isolation, he defies orders and leaves, attacking a female neighbor in her apartment. Linda warns Sebastian that she and Matt will report the experiment if he leaves again. Ignoring them, he rigs a device to fake his presence in the lab and spies on Linda and Matt, enraged by their intimacy.
Growing increasingly unstable, Sebastian kills a lab dog in a violent outburst. His descent into madness threatens everyone around him.
