A cerebral, paranoid thriller about identity and memory that uses genetic science and a fractured relationship with a twin to explore whether the self is fixed or constructed.

A geneticist wakes up from an accident with only fragments of his memory intact and is forced to relearn who he is via his twin brother. But as he digs deeper, he discovers he might not be who he thought at all.
