If you had the means to clone yourself, would you? If you could buffer the onslaught of modern life, the relentless march of time, would you trust a second ‘you’ to restore balance to your career, marriage and family? And could you trust that ‘you’ not to resent your enjoyment of the fruits of its labor? Geoffrey Bartell thought so.
Ambitious geneticist Geoffrey Bartell is fighting for his life. His company is under legal and political attack while his marriage crumbles around him. Desperate to recapture his once idyllic life he comes upon the perfect solution by creating a copy of himself, and together they set about picking up the pieces.
But the perfection is short-lived, as the two’s priorities begin to diverge. As the jealousies and resentments build they come to realize that while living alone was difficult, living as two may be impossible. Things take a dark turn and before long Geoffrey Bartell finds himself at the center of a criminal murder trial in which he now must fight to salvage what life he can.
