Jeremiah Adams is a middle aged man with a failing marriage, a teenage son who barely acknowledges him, and a job he no longer believes in. When the opportunity to take part in an illegal cloning experiment is brought to him by his employer, ViGen Pharmaceuticals, Jeremiah sees it as a chance to take a much-needed break from an existence that he feels increasingly disconnected from. From a luxurious apartment, he watches the clone navigate his day-to-day. But soon Jeremiah discovers that examining himself from an outsider s perspective isn t what he thought it would be.
