The story is about a man who is happy with a contented life. Then things change that challenge his perception of reality. He ends up in three parallel lives. He just wants it to stop so he can get back to normality.[1] [2] In the three different realities the man goes through, he is an architect in one of them, a rock singer in another and in the third he is a killer.[3] In order to find out what's going on, he seeks the help of his psychologist who believes the problem may be because he is not taking his prescribed medication.[4] [5] It is also a complex love story with many sub-plots within.[6]
The film is directed by Amir Valinia and the story was written by Andrew M.

The film was dedicated to Erika Cardenas who was the girlfriend of the director. She died five weeks before the release of the film.[10]
