Eddie Asher arrives at Hudson Valley Psychiatric Hospital panicked that he may have murdered his brothers fiancée, Lucy, with whom he shared a profound kinship. He cant imagine doing such a terrible thing, but Eddie hasnt been himself lately.
Eddies anxiety is nothing new to Pär, the one Eddie calls his Other, who protects Eddie from truths hes too sensitive to face. Or so Pär says. Troubled by Pärs increasing sway over his life, Eddie seeks out Dr. Richard Montgomery, a specialist in dissociative identities. The psychiatrist is Eddies best chance for piecing together the puzzle of what really happened to Lucy and to understanding his inexplicable memories of another mans life. But Montgomerys methods trigger a kaleidoscope of memories that Pär cant contain, bringing Eddie closer to an unimaginable truth about his identity.
