Premise
In the early 1960s, during the CIA's secret and illegal human experimentation program MK-Ultra,[lower-alpha 1] Dr. Ford Strauss (Anson Mount), a psychiatrist, is attempting to get medical LSD testings approved; his moral and scientific boundaries are pushed to the limit, as he is approached by CIA agent Galvin Morgan (Jason Patric) to run a subsect of the program in a rural Mississippi psychiatric hospital. As he conducts the experiments on a drug addict, an arsonist, a transgender woman, and an animal killer, Dr. Strauss begins to question Agent Morgan’s ethics and disentangles an incomprehensible conspiracy.[3][4][5][6]
