Storyline
In a short prelude, U.S. Army General Dean Hopgood is painfully thwarted in an attempt to pass paranormally through a solid wall by simply running into it. However, he stumbles onto the story of a lifetime when he meets a retired U.S. Army Special Forces operator, Lyn Cassady, who reveals that he was part of a U.S. Army unit training psychic spies to develop a range of parapsychological skills including invisibility, remote viewing, and phasing.

“When you have worked as a screenwriter and watched as many films as I have watched, I think it seeps onto the page. I don't think that's always a good thing.”
