This odd movie has the same idea as CAPRICA, with a computer program able to gather information about a person and create a persona from it. In this case it's the personality of Satanist Aleister Crowley, which is downloaded into a virtual reality program created by teacher Joshua Mathers. When a shy, stuttering professor named Haddo (Simon Callow) dons the suit to try out the program, this personality takes him over--and he starts doing very very bizarre things. Of course, everyone notices the difference but they just think he's flipped out.
What Crowley intends to do is execute an occult ritual and in doing so people start dying. The one who is in the most danger is Mather's love interest, graduate student Lia. Lia is also a campus newspaper reporter and digs herself into trouble with Haddo/Crowley, so it's up to Mathers to save her.
In the end some time-travel is involved, which doesn't quite make sense, unless you reason the entire story happened in 'virtual reality'. Which indeed may be the point.
