Synopsis

Un drame film noir dans lequel un arnaqueur sophistiqué, qui vient de voler de la foule, est forcé d'usurper l'identité d'un psychiatre qui lui ressemble, allant jusqu'à se couper sur la joue de dupliquer une cicatrice similaire sur le médecin. Quand il prend les choses encore plus loin, le karma arrive, le forçant à payer les dettes de son double.
