[edit] Plot
Michael Griffin (Christian Slater) is an invisible assassin created as a result of a military experiment gone wrong. Due to the side effects of the invisibility serum, he has become deranged and is hunting down the very people who turned him invisible. When he kills one of the scientists, cops are sent to protect the other scientist, Maggie - Griffin is looking for her because she devised a serum that could cure the side effects of invisibility. This leads to a deadly chase through Seattle to expose the truth about the serum and the people who are willing to cover it up. When Frank Turner's partner was killed by Griffin while on police assignment to protect Maggie, Frank decided to track Griffin down for revenge. Towards the end of the show, Frank injects himself with the serum to become invisible while trying to save Maggie, thereby leading to the fight between the two Hollow Men. Frank managed to kill Griffin with a spade. The movie ends with Maggie in the hospital and one Hollow Man (presumably Frank) waiting outside
