Gabriel Yulaw vive in un futuro in cui si è coscienti della struttura dell'universo, in realtà un "multiverso" composto da ben 124 dimensioni parallele, tra le quali è possibile muoversi solo sotto il controllo di uno speciale corpo di polizia. Ogni essere vivente ha un doppio in ognuna di queste dimensioni e ogni volta che uno di essi muore, la sua energia confluisce nei corpi degli altri. Yulaw vuole acquistare poteri quasi illimitati e per questo uccide tutti i suoi doppi, ma l'ultima copia di sé ancora in vita si rivela quasi invincibile. Effetti speciali che ricordano Matrix e incredibili combattimenti a colpi di Kung Fu per un film sicuramente spettacolare.
