Here's a description of Exitz from the website of production company Inspired Movies Ltd.: "Malcolm McDowell leads the cast in Exitz, a thriller which takes you on a journey beyond virtual reality. ¶ A computer games tycoon Percy (Malcolm McDowell) is one of the judges of the Miss India beauty pageant. When the beautiful Ravi (Perizaad Zorabian) wins, Percy makes her an offer she cannot refuse. She is to be muse and star of a new inter-active virtual reality game that pushes the boundaries of real life and fantasy to the limits. ¶ Percy persuades Ravi to come to England. His right-hand man Theo (Stephen Billington) greets her at the airport and there is a frisson of chemistry between them. Ravi moves into Percy's palatial country house, where she gets the feeling that hidden cameras are watching her every move. Percy is captivated by Ravi's astounding beauty. By contrast he feels old and ugly and compares them to Beauty and the Beast. ¶ Percy recruits a software expert to develop his new game. One of the candidates for the job is Murli (Christopher Simpson), an illegal Indian immigrant who has just arrived in England. Murli is a highly-qualified and talented computer programmer but he is innocent in the ways of the world. ¶ Murli's friend Mushtaq (Gordon Warnecke) takes him to a charity shop to get kitted out for his interview. Murli is befriended by the shop assistant Billy (Charity Wakefield) who helps him select a second-hand suit and shows him how to fasten a tie. When Murli lands the job he returns to the shop with a bunch of flowers to thank Billy for her help. ¶ Billy is a single mother living in a rough council estate. She invites Murli back to her flat where she introduces him to her three-year-old daughter Davina [Grace McGuire]. He soon becomes part of their lives. ¶ Murli proves his skill in developing Percy's new reality computer game that pushes reality entertainment to new and forbidden limits. Strange things begin to occur with random actions and unfathomable characters. When a mysterious angel (Tara Antonia) appears on the screen the game begins to take on a life of its own. ¶ Murli's success infuriates Theo and Aurora (Beth Winslet) a cold-hearted femme fatale who works for Percy. They plot to set him up by removing all of his data from the hard drive. Murli is framed, abducted and held prisoner by Theo and his henchmen. With the software tools in the hands of Theo and Aurora, reality is manipulated in cruel and dangerous ways. Murli is a ruined man. Theo and Aurora persuade him to kill Percy, whom they blame for his downfall. ¶ But is Murli sent to shoot the wrong man? Murli goes to Percy's mansion - and with gun aimed to fire, sneaks into Percy's library. What is revealed on the plasma screen is an extension of the game Murli helped develop - revealing a very different reality."
