1. What is your story about?

It is a crime drama about how choices affect life. Kyle, the main character is forced to make a hard choice that changes his life forever. In one reality he has become a thug, in the other one he is a cop. We follow both realities and see how one simple fact influenced all of his life, his friends and the ones he loves. But there’s more, as Kyle becomes to feel the existence of his second self. He starts having memories of things happening in the other reality. At first, he thinks he’s just becoming crazy but facts prove that he is not. As a cop he has hints nobody else has, and as a thug he knows things about the police no other thug knows. Kyle starts a danguerous game with himself as one reality affects the other. And things go worse when he discover that his girlfriend, dead in one reality, is alive in the other. What will he do to have her back to life ?
