Jake Westboro is a man with it all: a beautiful wife and child, a large house in the suburbs, and the high-paying position of a major executive for the Blackburn Tobacco Company. As a result of smoking since he was 15, however, Jake is now dying from the effects of the cigarettes that he once sold. An experimental surgeon, Dr. Rex Ronan, volunteers to shrink himself and a craft down to near-microscopic size, so he can travel inside of Jake's body and fight the various side effects of his smoking. However, the tobacco company is concerned that if Jake survives, he will speak to the world about the hazards of tobacco and ruin their business. This makes them secretly place microbots inside him en-masse in an attempt to stop Ronan from treating him and protect their financial bottom line.
