A terrorist intends to use a cache of virtual-reality "phasing shells" as part of a mysterious master plan. To find out what the villain is up to, Nikita (Peta Wilson) agrees to test a captured VR shell. Alas, like so many others, Nikita becomes addicted to the thrills provided by the shell. But will she, like so many others, go insane and commit suicide as a result of her addiction? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
