The premise

When an explosion at a top-secret government lab injures an elderly janitor, no one could have expected the terrifying results. Exposure to mysterious chemicals causes him to undergo a bizarre transformation. He is slowly... incredibly... growing younger every day. Now, a ruthless CIA assassin will stop at nothing to take him prisoner and turn him into a government guinea pig. With his future on the line, the janitor goes on the run with his wife and a feisty female agent. All the while, he continues to transform... into a being with powers that are as deadly as they are unimaginable.

Horror Vault's take

After a catastrophic accident at a clandestine government laboratory, an unassuming elderly janitor begins to change in ways that defy all medical understanding — growing younger with each passing day. The transformation is not without cost, and the forces within the government willing to exploit it are ruthless and relentless. With a cold-blooded operative closing in, the janitor and his wife flee for their lives, aided by an unlikely ally. Based on a Stephen King project, this slow-burn sci-fi thriller keeps you guessing about just how far the changes will go.
