In a poisoned world where sunshine kills, a hit squad from the Zyklor Corporation interrupts the testing of a matter replikator capable of duplicating living tissue for the purpose of extending human life. When the smoke clears, scientist Ludovic finds himself framed for murder and on the run from an exact duplicate... of himself. Joining forces with ex-lover Kat Moscow and cynical Detective Valiant, Ludovic follows the bloody path of destruction wrought by a monster with his face.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Toronto with a budget that wouldn't cover one episode of The X-Files, yet managed to cast Ned Beatty between bigger gigs — reportedly for a single weekend of work.
This film belongs to a curious 1993-95 wave of Canadian sci-fi cloning panic that also includes Screamers and Cube, reflecting anxieties about NAFTA-era corporate identity dissolution.
