Tesla takes a momentous professional leap and heads west to Colorado Springs. There he builds the experimental station that would allow him to understand the fundamental principles needed to build his world wireless system.

Tesla realizes he's reached the limits of experiments he can do on wireless transmission from his Manhattan laboratory when he almost lays waste to his entire neighborhood with an earthquake machine.

Tesla abandons x-rays, pioneers radio control, and tries to end war for all time--but not before blowing up what had been one of his closest personal and professional friendships.

On March 13, 1895, at the height of his powers, Tesla suffered a devastating tragedy as his world--and his work--came crashing down around him.
