“An action thriller with a message….” On a South Sea island, psychology professor Burnhouse has established an experimental Utopian society based on “anti-humanistic” science and technology.
Because his “behavioristic model” denies that human beings possess freedom of will, Burnhouse attempts to control people entirely by rewards. The result is an unanticipated downthrust among the
population into extortion, robbery, rape, murder, and rebellion.Another psychologist is sent to investigate, but his team is overwhelmed and faces certain annihilation. The team, and the
island, is only “saved” when two residents, reflecting selfless love, sacrifice themselves for the sake of all.
