Elliot, a successful gynecologist, works at the same practice as his identical twin, Beverly. Elliot is attracted to many of his patients and has affairs with them.

Beverly falls hard for one of the patients, Claire, but when she inadvertently deceives him, he slips into a state of madness.
The Weeknd
Musician
Instead of doing his homework, he watched films online and downloaded scripts. Films that he’d had no exposure to out in the world where he lived, that no one he knew had any exposure to. Dark, psychologically disturbing films—Dead Ringers, Videodrome—which probably isn’t that strange to find out if you know the Weeknd oeuvre.

When Oscar is killed by police during a bust gone bad, his spirit journeys from the past -- where he sees his parents before their deaths -- to the present -- where he witnesses his own autopsy -- and then to the future, where he looks out for his sister from beyond the grave.
