Synopsis: - Damien Kane, a young man in his twenties, is called to a military base and learns that he is not human, but part of a secret government project and a second generation "Un-Man" – the prodigal son of the synthetic creatures once created by Anton Arcane. He also learns that he is slowly mutating and losing his human appearance, and probably going to die. After meeting his "parents" – a group of Un-Men frozen in a cryonic vault, Damien tries to cope with the horrific revelation. Later, he is called into the night by a hypnotizing voice, and flees the military base.
