On his way to L.A., rebellious teenage daughter in tow, a U.S. marshal is forced to spend a few days in tiny Eureka, which turns out to be populated by geniuses and their families - in essence, the world's largest think tank - who have been relocated there by the Department of Defense to develop new technologies, including weapons. The town experiences some upheaval when an experiment causing the laws of physics to break down coincides with the marshal's visit.
