DescriptionOperation MK Ultra is a top-secret CIA project involving hypnotic mind control. In many cases, the subjects are not even aware they have been hypnotized. Unfortunately, keeping it secret is proving difficult. To help them out of a particular crisis, the powers that be call in Senator Joe Maguire.
