Drew Barrymore plays Charlie McGhee, a
pre-pubescent girl whose moods of anger and
frustration are manifested in the telekinetic
creation of raging fires. Her parents
participated in dangerous government experiments
in the 60s, and their bodies were altered in
ways that affected the physical and mental
makeup of their child. Now the CIA wants to
harness Charlie's powers and use them as weapons
of destruction. They successfully kidnap her,
but can they contain her fears and blistering
rage? Circumstances soon spin way beyond their
control.
