Growth

In 1989, a breakthrough in advanced parasitic research on Cuttyhunk Island gave scientists a jump on human evolution. Initial tests proved promising as subjects experienced heightened physical and mental strength and awareness until something in the experiment went horribly wrong and the island lost three quarters of its population.

Jamie Akerman (Mircea Monroe, "Tekken") fled the outbreak, which took her mother's life, twenty years ago. She now returns with her boyfriend (Brian Krause, TVs "Charmed"), step brother and best friend, to sell the family property. On the island they uncover the key to Jamie's disturbing past, and the horrifying secrets long suppressed by the town leader.

Once again the experiment threatens the island's population and as Jamie struggles to survive and escape, some of the local islanders suspect that she has inherited more than she could ever have imagined.
