The movie stars Jack Armstrong (How To Get Away With Murder, Mr. Mayor, The Boys in the Band) as lead character Sean Barker.

Upon becoming the new hero, he is pursued by the evil Chronos Corporation, which wants to get the suit.
The Chronos Corporation will stop at nothing to get the suit, either, including kidnapping Sean’s girlfriend, Mizuki (Vivian Wu — The Last Emperor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, The Pillow Book). Thankfully for Sean, he has the aid of CIA agent Max Reed (Mark Hamill — Star Wars Episodes 4-9, Batman: The Animated Series, Transformers: Rescue Bots), Sean has help in his battle against the Chronos Corporation.
