Plot summary

With humans only able to use ten percent of their vision spectrum, Los Angeles based Dr. James Xavier is doing research in the goal of increasing that vision spectrum to approach if not reach one hundred percent. Needing to update the foundation funding his research, the foundation's liaison being Dr. Diane Fairfax, he believes the most effective way to provide that meaningful report to the group of non-scientists at the foundation who will make the decision to continue or stop funding his research is to use himself as the test subject for the eye drops that he has developed. While the eye drops do accomplish what he had anticipated in seeing those results previously in his animal subjects, he may or may not have anticipated the uses of such increased vision and the consequences, including side effects, and long term use of the drops at higher doses.—Huggo
