Charlie Gordon is about to embark upon unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence — a procedure that has already been highly succesful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.
As the treatment takes effect, Charlie’s intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be scientific breakthrough of paramount importance until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?
