The Speed of Thought follows the story of Joshua Lazarus, a telepathic young man who has been raised in a foster home run by the National Security Agency (NSA). Lazarus has been using his abilities to help the government gather intelligence, but he soon discovers that he has been lied to about his condition.
According to the NSA, Lazarus suffers from Widmann's Disease, a degenerative neurological disorder that causes telepathy as a side effect. The agency has been using him to gather information on terrorists and other threats, but they have also been testing him extensively, using drugs and other methods to enhance his abilities.
Lazarus grows increasingly disillusioned with the NSA's methods, especially after he meets a woman named Kira (Taryn Manning) who has similar powers but does not have the disease. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth about their abilities and to evade the NSA's grasp.
As they evade their pursuers, Lazarus and Kira form a deep bond and begin to uncover the truth about their powers. They discover that the NSA had been lying to Lazarus about his condition, and that his telepathy was actually a natural ability that he had been born with. The agency had been using him for their own gain, without concern for his well-being.
The Speed of Thought is a thrilling sci-fi thriller that explores the power of the mind and the dangers of unchecked government power. With excellent performances by Nick Stahl and Taryn Manning, this film is a must-see for fans of the genre.
