A quadriplegic young man is given a capuchin monkey as a helper. Somehow the animal is going to unveil its dangerous nature...

Late 80s, George Romero has to compromise with the reality of the system: formerly used to create without interference from white-collar workers, he will have to make concessions to Orion executives for his first studio movie. Though the experience hurts, the result – even if altered by sales requirements – is incredibly wicked, personal and philosophical. Proof that Romero cannot be silenced.
