Young scientist Will Rodman in the search for an effective cure for Alzheimer's disease, conducts genetic experiments on monkeys. But one of the experimental chimpanzees, Clear-eyed, becomes aggressive, out of control and crushing the laboratory.
She is killed, and after this case the authorities make a decision to suspend the experiment and put all the monkeys to sleep. Later it turns out that Nastoglazka was pregnant and just defended her child. Colleagues persuade Will to take the cub to himself, saying that he will seek him a nursery. Soon Will discovers a chimpanzee's amazing abilities for his age and understands that the medicine that was administered to his mother influenced the child.
The scientist decides to leave the chimpanzee, whom he calls Caesar. He also makes a desperate step and steals from the laboratory a medicine that gives his father Charles, who is sick with Alzheimer's syndrome.
