Jack's life is defined by its disquieting absences: no memories of his own face, no sense of permanence, and a body that feels borrowed. Alone in the early morning quiet of the cinema where he works, he encounters a new trainee—Mack—who is more familiar than any stranger should be. As their unsettling resemblance deepens, Jack finds himself face to face with the thing he has wanted his entire life: a projection of himself.
