Synopsis
Only 237 people in the world are "scanners", human beings with extraordinary mental powers. Darryl Revok, the most powerful, is the head of the group. All of them are able to control the minds of others and can cause terrible suffering to their victims. When Dr. Paul Ruth discovers a scanner with more powers than Revok, he decides to use it to wipe out the group.
