Dr. Lawrence Angelo, a pioneering scientist, is experimenting with virtual reality to increase human intelligence. He recruits Jobe Smith, a simple-minded gardener, as his test subject. Through a series of VR sessions, Dr. Angelo successfully enhances Jobe's intellect and cognitive abilities, transforming him into a genius capable of understanding complex theories and mastering new skills rapidly. However, as Jobe's intelligence grows, so does his awareness of the power he gains, leading to increasingly unpredictable behavior.

Despite early successes, Dr. Angelo realizes that the experiment is spiraling out of control. Jobe's mental enhancements start to come with dangerous side effects, including violent tendencies and a detachment from reality. As Jobe's abilities evolve beyond human constraints, he becomes determined to unleash his newfound powers on the world, posing a grave threat. Confronted with the monster he helped create, Dr. Angelo must find a way to stop Jobe before he can wreak havoc in both the physical and virtual realms.
