Allegra Geller (Leigh), an innovative software designer, is ready to give a lucky few the first demonstration of her new virtual reality game eXistenZ. The excitement is put on hold when she is attacked by an assassin intent on destroying the game. She convinces a young assistant (Law) to enter the virtual world to test its damaged system—and that is where his trouble begins!
