Logline:
A young man in a failed marriage is diagnosed with terminal cancer. When scientists discover that he has a planet living inside of his brain, he becomes a target for evil villains on a quest to turn everything into complete darkness.

Synopsis:
Set in New York City, in a time not too distant from the present, chemistry professor Martin Ward discovers a planet in his brain when he is diagnosed with cancer. Amidst the pain caused by excruciating headaches, he seeks help from doctors and is referred from one specialist to the next. Meanwhile, Martin’s marriage is falling apart as his wife, Jane Ward, cheats on him with his friend Senator Bill Rodney.

Upon several visits with doctors, Martin’s radiologist, Dr. Edward Frank, examines the rare activity in Martin’s MRI results and encourages him to consult with a research lab. When Martin arrives at the facility, he notices twelve other patients frozen in iceboxes. The scientists believe that the abnormal activity originates from the planet that exists in the pineal gland. In an attempt to study this phenomenon, they are able to build their pool of subjects by adding Martin to the rest. Martin is immediately placed in a box and strapped to machinery that monitors his brain waves. More importantly, Martin discovers that one of the patients undergoing this study is a girl named Sandy, whom he met on a subway two days ago.

As the experiments persist, changes begin to occur in Martin’s brain and he is awoken in a Cocoon on Zenoflex, which is the planet living in his pineal gland. Instantly, Martin encounters a couple on Zenoflex: Embre and Menerec, the inhabitants of the planet. Martin soon uncovers his role in a prophecy that will lead him to rescue Zenoflex and Earth from absolute darkness. Among the dark force lends an evil leader Menelik, who stole vital substance from Zenoflex known as the C- sequence. This substance is the driving force of life and wisdom produced on Mount Uburous, the most sacred place on Zenoflex. The precious C-quence is properly stored and guarded by the elders. One such powerful elder is Master Helenray, the guardian of this planet and father of Embre. With his guidance, Martin learns about life on Zenoflex and bonds with Embre and Menerec.

While on Zenoflex, Embre guides Martin on a tour around the planet and shows him their way of life. To Martin’s surprise, he experiences a chance encounter with Sandy who mysteriously ended up on the planet the way he did. Together, Embre, Martin, and Sandy join forces to fight against Menelik and his goons who are presently converting the C-quence on Earth into an addictive drug. Martin and Sandy learn that the C-quence is special in its purist form and is used to amplify one’s abilities once consumed even in the smallest doses. Such a valuable substance can be used to combat the very destruction that Menelik launched. Additionally, the C-quence is useful as a means of transporting to Earth. Like the inhabitants on Zenoflex, they travel to other diminsions and worlds through solids and liquids with the help of the C-quence, which strengthens this ability. It also allows for Martin to get back to his body.

Meanwhile, on Mount Uburous, a deadlier evil emerges as Mensar, the son of Menelik and childhood friend of Menerec embarks on a massacre as he murders Master Helenray and Menerec in the process of stealing the remainder of the C-quence on Zenoflex. Mensar journeys back to Earth and delivers the special liquid to his father. Worse yet, Mensar conjures up a beast that has the power to initiate the end of days. At this time, the fate of two worlds rest in the hands of Martin, Sandy, Embre, and Menerec, who reincarnates into a beautiful flying creature after being murdered. But with the prevailing hope to overcome evil, they plant their paths toward defeating Menelik and his army of dark forces.
