On a Friday evening in 1953, Madison Avenue ad executive Ned Sweeney enjoys a cocktail in the apartment of a strange and charismatic man he met hours earlier. Ned doesn't know it, but he has just become a participant in Project MKUltra, a covert, CIA-run study of mind-control techniques. Overwhelming and transformative, the experience pulls Ned away from his wife and young son and into the inner circles of the richest and most powerful people of his day. In a matter of months, he is dead. It is a tragedy Nedβs family struggles to understand, then tries to forgetβ¦but some skeletons refuse to stay buried. Over sixty years later, Nedβs grandson Ray is introduced to a retired government official who claims to know the details of Nedβs life and death.

Ray digs deeper, and begins to question everything as he uncovers rumors of an immensely powerful βsmart drugββa fabled cognitive enhancer called MDT-48.
