When
a boyfriend tricks Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) into delivering a
briefcase to a supposed business contact, the once-carefree student is
abducted by thugs who intend to turn her into a drug mule. She is
surgically implanted with a package containing a powerful chemical, but
it leaks into her system, giving her superhuman
abilities, including telekinesis and telepathy. With her former captors
in pursuit, Lucy seeks out a neurologist (Morgan Freeman), who she hopes
will be able to help her.
