Mike Erikson is gifted with a photographic memory and high intelligence, but is working as an English teacher in a small town. An old friend asks him to travel to the California desert in order to audit a scientific project that seems to have discovered teleportation. But things soon go wrong.
The premise is reasonably clever, but unfortunately the execution falls short. Apart from Mike himself, the characters are anything but memorable, and much of the plot is spent on administrivia without much depth. The dramatic moments fall flat. It feels like a mid-budget science fiction tv show episode that has been stretched to three times the adequate length for the story. I could not maintain interest and gave up halfway through.
