A darkly energetic psychological thriller that uses split personality and vigilante violence to explore a man's fractured response to social injustice and romantic rejection.

Unable to tolerate society's injustices and devastated by rejection from the woman he loves, a meek lawyer develops a split personality: one side a vengeful vigilante killer punishing evildoers, the other a dashing playboy capable of winning her heart. Complications arise when the three sides begin to collide.
