However, the hospital doctor has been supplying Brady with experimental drugs that have led him to acquire new powers, including the ability to move small objects with his mind and to enter the bodies of certain people vulnerable to his control. From his bed, Brady has designed a Zappit video game application. As soon as he has the user under control, he uses the app to dominate their mind and drag them to suicide. His targets are the same teenagers who escaped death, but he really wants to draw Hodges into the game and get revenge.
