Nobel laureate Harry Wolper (Peter O'Toole), is obsessed with a project to recreate his wife from cells he has kept since her death 30 years ago. He needs some assistance, so he hires graduate student Boris (Vincent Spano). However, Wolper is distracted not only by the attentions of Meli (Mariel Hemingway), but also by his attempts to set up Boris with Barbara (Virginia Madsen), a beautiful medical student. When Wolper's dream is finally destroyed, Boris pleads with him to channel his talents into saving Barbara's life.
