In this science fiction thriller, child psychiatrist Catherine Deane (
Jennifer Lopez) has developed a technique that allows her to travel through the minds of her patients. When Stargher (
Vincent D'Onofrio), a multiple murderer who methodically drowns his victims and performs bizarre rituals with their bodies, falls into a coma, FBI agent Peter Novak (
Vince Vaughn) asks Deane to enter the killer's psyche, in the hope of finding a missing girl whom Stargher has kidnapped; if she's not soon found, in all likelihood she'll die in his torture cell. However, once Deane enters the bizarre world of Stargher's mind, she finds getting out to be a very difficult matter.

A Science-Fiction Nightmare Thriller.
The beautiful Jennifer Lopez makes her first visit to the Twilight Zone in this psychological thriller in which she plays a child therapist recruited by an FBI agent (Vince Vaughn) to use an experimental treatment to enter the mind of a comatose serial killer (Vincent D'Onofrio) to learn the location of his latest victim before it's too late, but when she becomes trapped in this visually haunting world, her very existence is threatened. Also starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Dylan Baker, Jake Weber, James Gammon, Gerry Becker, Tara Subkoff, Dean Norris, Musetta Vander and Patrick Bauchau.
