A darkly comic sci-fi thriller that uses the premise of self-dueling clones to explore identity, mortality, and the absurdity of existence with detached wit and philosophical weight.

A terminally ill woman opts for a cloning procedure to ease her loss on her friends and family. When she makes a miraculous recovery, her attempts to have her clone decommissioned fail and lead to a court-mandated duel to the death.
