      Having exposed a group of fraudulent spiritualists, investigative journalist Joanna Cross is intrigued by the claims of psychologist Dr Sam Towne that paranormal phenomena do in fact exist. Accepting his challenge to enter into a scientific experiment to 'create' a ghost, Joanna, Sam and six volunteers bring to life 'Adam Wyatt' - a young American living in France after the American War of Independence. Associated with the great minds and mystics at the close of the eighteenth century, he dies tragically in the French Revolution. The experiment is a great success, with poltergeist activity and disembodied messages all scientifically recorded. Sam's theory appears conclusive - that ghosts are created by the people who see them. But a series of inexplicable and ominous events force Joanna and Sam to realize the ghost they have brought to life can also cause death...

    • Rick Hamilton konnte nicht ahnen, dass am Ende dieses Tages seine Welt Kopf stehen würde. Seine Frau Anne und sein Sohn Charly werden in einen schweren Autounfall verwickelt. Rick, der das Desaster aus nächster Nähe mit erleben muss, fällt in eine bodenlose Ohnmacht. Als er zwei Tage später im Krankenhaus erwacht, ist ihm die Welt ein Rätsel: Anne sieht aus wie Anne, aber kleidet sich anders. Sein bester Freund Harold ist zwar ein guter Kumpel, aber irgendwie nicht ganz der Alte. Ricks und Annes Sohn Charly hat angeblich nie existiert, und obendrein wird Rick von allen nur Richard genannt. Ist das die Wirklichkeit? Soweit er sich erinnert, war Anne doch bei dem Unfall ums Leben gekommen! Was ist passiert? Bei dem Versuch, eine Erklärung für all diese seltsamen Veränderungen zu finden, stößt Rick an seine Grenzen. Bald bewegt er sich auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen Wahnsinn und Realität: Der Gedanke, in einer anderen Welt gefangen zu sein, lässt ihn nicht mehr los. Von allen unverstanden und für verrückt erklärt, versucht er, einen Ausweg aus einem Leben zu finden, das eine schlechte Kopie seines eigenen zu sein scheint. Einen Ausweg, der mehr als einen Mord zur Folge hat.

      A wrong number here, a case of mistaken identity there, a chance meeting with a stranger who knows your best friend. Most people dismiss such things as trivial, unimportant. Mere coincidence. Or could there be a hidden pattern in these seemingly random events? George Daly's life has been as unremarkable as most people's, until the day he finds himself going through his dead father's possessions. He discovers a photograph of himself as a boy, but he has no memory of where it was taken, nor does he recognize the people with him. As he investigates further, he experiences an increasingly bizarre chain of coincidences that soon threaten to unravel his whole world. Before long he finds himself fighting for his sanity and even his survival.
