The story follows the aftermath of a fertility experiment gone wrong, which resulted in several disfigured, highly intelligent, and murderous mutant children.
- The Protagonist: Catherine Moore (Michele Greene) is a mother who has moved into a new home with her six-month-old son, Joey. Unknown to her at first, Joey is a telepathic, homicidal mutant who manipulates her to protect him.
- The Antagonist: Linda Holt (Robin Curtis), another survivor of the experiment, has dedicated her life to hunting and killing these mutant infants before they can threaten humanity.

- Cast: Starring Michele Greene (L.A. Law), Scott Valentine (Family Ties), and Robin Curtis (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).
- Practical Effects: The film is known for its "Joey" mutant puppet, which was designed by Gabe Bartalos and often described by reviewers as looking like a slimy, blood-covered electronic prop.
- Critical Reception: Reviews generally characterize it as a "so bad it's good" B-movie, noted for being silly and action-packed, with Muir's Horror Films of the 1990s calling it "dopey at times" but "certainly not boring".
