Jack Deth is a retired police trooper from the 23rd century who is called back into service to hunt Martin Whistler, a criminal mastermind who wields psychic powers to turn ordinary people into mindless Trancers and carry out his orders. Deth can identify a trance-induced individual by scanning them with a special bracelet, a device that reveals the hidden danger behind seemingly normal faces. In this future-forward chase, the Trancers initially appear as ordinary humans, but once Whistler activates them, they transform into savage killers with twisted features, driven by a single purpose: to obey Whistler’s commands and erase any obstacle to his dominion.
