Abey (A-Bay) believes that she's discovered the fountain of youth through a mixture of Ute spiritualism and surgical manipulation of the master gland in the human brain. Her attempt to increase her funding for human research is rebuffed by the review board that sees serious flaws with her methods and cuts off her funding completely.

Nick, her former lover, sits on the board making the decision even more personally insulting. Abey finds private funding and recruits her own test subjects, including Nick's father Gerald, to clandestinely continue her work.

The first subject, a Native American shaman known as Magpie, has already undergone the process and has reverted from her nineties back to her youthful twenties but has noticed something growing within her. She attempts to exorcise herself of the spirit demon with the help of her new-found lover, Tanner, but succeeds only in releasing the demon at the cost of her life and the infection of Tanner with its larvae.

Gerald undergoes the procedure, angering Nick who confronts Abey about her ethical lapse. Gerald immediately complains that he feels something wrong inside. Abey provides him reassurance but is troubled herself by repeated visions and eerie visits by a group of shamans repeating a stern warning that her meddling with spiritualism and modern science would result in doom.

Her denials are shattered when she discovers Magpie slain and is pursued by the spirit in a daring escape that cost the life of her trusted assistant Elsa. During the pursuit back to the clinic she strikes the wandering and confused Tanner with her car. At the clinic she discovers Tanner's infection causing him to suffer an attack of paranoia, barricading himself in a room. The elderly try to make their escape as the spirit attacks the clinic leaving only Nick and Abey to deal with the sinister mutant wasp.
