Walter Jattner
is summoned from his uneventful life to a new calling; swept to
another dimension by a mysterious man dressed in a Blue Suit, he
is left alone in a room full of mirrors. Seeing hundreds of reflections
of himself, he is shocked to see the reflections emerge from the
mirrors - as real people. Blue Suit explains to Jattner that he
is occupying the same space and time with versions of himself from
different parallel universes; furthermore, Jattner has the power
to cross between these universes. Confronted with this new destiny,
Jattner becomes the official administrator of the parallel universes,
a position he takes with reluctance, as he doubts his own abilities
to succeed in the role. Jattner’s one directive from Blue
Suit is that he cannot directly interfere with any universe; he
can only influence the people within them to effect change.
27 year-old
Jessica Velardo has it all: a great job, great life, and her boyfriend
Scott Nolan has every quality in a partner that she could wish for.
One night, Scott proposes to her; she says “Yes” without
hesitation. Later that night, Jessica wakes to the sound of Scott
screaming from downstairs. She finds Scott’s bloodied and
mutilated body sprawled across the kitchen floor. Overwhelmed with
shock, she passes out.
Jattner, watching
from a distance and unable to directly interfere, is faced with
his first crucial test: Jessica has been pushed out of her universe
and in to another; a universe where everything she knows has changed.
Furthermore, a twisted, evil version of Jessica from another universe
is responsible for killing Scott, and is hell bent on killing every
version of Scott in every universe. As more versions of Scott are
killed, Jessica is pushed in to a different universe and experiences
the different versions of Scott first hand, including the version
that battered and abused evil Jessica and turned her in to the raging,
psychopathic killer she has become.
Jattner must
use the skills he is learning to place all the universes back in
to alignment, all the while overcoming his doubts and fears about
succeeding in his role as administrator of the parallel universes
as well as adhering to the strict rules Blue Suit has created for
him.
Jessica must
defeat her evil twin before the latter is able to unravel the fabric
of all life through her psychotic killing spree, as well as preventing
Jessica from attaining the romantic and spiritual connection with
the correct version of Scott, a connection Jessica has desired her
entire life.
