Synopsis:
What would your reaction be if, walking down the street one day, you suddenly encountered your perfect double … a flawless mirror image … your doppelganger? And what if you believed this eerie phenomenon was an omen of your own impending death?
In this tense supernatural thriller, meek scientist Michio Hayasaki (Koji Yakusho) comes face to face with his own doppelganger. He is initially able to ignore him, but the look-a-like becomes more and more insistent, until Hayasaki has no choice but to confront him.
Despite being physically identical, they are frighteningly opposite in nature – where Hayasaki is quiet and reserved, the new arrival is confident, aggressive … and unbound by social conventions. The two learn to co-exist until Hayasaki’s life suddenly leaps into a downward spiral.
