Summary: Dr. Neal Eberhardt (Ralph Macchio), a former boy genius gone bitterly to

Dr. Neal Eberhardt (Ralph Macchio), a former boy genius gone bitterly to
seed, studies brain-damaged and comatose patients hoping to learn how
the brain reroutes itself. Despite having a revolutionary new machine to
work with - the Neural Intercortex Stimulation Array or NISA - Dr..
Eberhardt is getting nowhere. To make matters worse, his valued
assistant Vince Carter has just quit. But suddenly, Neal has a
breakthrough. The brain waves of two comatose patients, Adam (Aaron
Smolinski) and Lisa (Emmanuelle Vaugier), fall into sync while they're
hooked up to the NISA and one of them whispers the other's name. Neal
knows he's onto something and tells his boss, Marty Kilgore (Michael
Sarrazin). What Neal doesn't know is that Adam and Lisa have landed in
an idyllic parallel consciousness and are falling in love. As Adam and Lisa
get to know each other, Neal continues his research, joined now by his
ex-girlfriend and colleague Janice Claymore (Susannah Hoffman).
Desperate to try the technique on other comatose subjects, Neal loses
patience and makes the journey himself. After giving himself a calculated
overdose of Phenobarbital, he hooks himself up to NISA and launches
himself into Adam and Lisa's world. He catches a glimpse, but he's pulled
back at the last minute, leaving him more determined than ever to find a
way to rescue his patients from the other side. But do they really want to
be rescued? Or is it really Neal that wants to cross over to the other side?
