The Enterprise helps Charlie Evans, the lone survivor of a transport crash 14 years earlier, but he threatens the security of the ship when he exhibits strange and unusual powers.

Kirk and other crew members succumb to a strange malady which accelerates the ageing process. With old age and senility creeping suddenly and unexpectedly upon him, the captain begins to doubt his own abilities as leader. As the ship comes under attack, it may well be the end.

A fleeing murderer's charm enables him to enlist the unwitting aid of several law-abiding citizens in his efforts to elude the Highway Patrol.
