During a surreal lockdown where an airborne plague topples bodies to the floor, two estranged twin brothers—one newly freed, the other who stole his name and fate—find themselves entangled in a feverish web of deceit. A cosplaying femme fatale, a seductive voice on the line, and a gang of trickster pookas stir the smoke and shadows of this campy pulp-noir.
