Synopsis by Hal Erickson
World-renowned geneticist and well-known eccentric Martin Nodel (Ron Rifkin) is currently studying a strange material called "entrons," which he thinks may hold the key to the future evoluton of Mankind. Secretly injecting himself with the material, Nodel is amazed at the changes wrought upon his body. But it is only a matter of time before amazement will degenerate into stark, raw terror -- not only for Nodel, but also for his son, Paul (Ryan Reynolds). "Double Helix" first aired on March 28, 1997.
