Every choice has a consequence. But what if the flip of a coin could trigger two separate but parallel destinies? Bobby and Kate are a young New York couple at a crossroads whose lives are about to take very different directions. A seemingly ordinary July 4th is cleaved in two by the flip of a coin. One path leads them to gentle discoveries about family, loss and each other on a visit to Brooklyn, and the other plunges them into an urban nightmare of pursuit, suspense and murder in Manhattan.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire film was shot in just 30 days with a skeleton crew, and the directors literally flipped a coin each morning to decide which timeline they'd shoot.
The Brooklyn half was improvised heavily with the actors, while the Manhattan thriller stuck rigidly to script—mirroring the free will vs. determinism tension.
