A surreal, paranoid descent into psychological fragmentation where a man's encounter with his doppelgänger becomes a mirror for his own dissolution and existential dread.

An awkward office drone becomes increasingly unhinged after a charismatic and confident look-alike takes a job at his workplace and seduces the woman he desires.
