Dichiarato morto in seguito ad un tragico incidente automobilistico, Harold Pelhan, un tranquillo ed affermato uomo d'affarii, torna miracolosamente in vita dopo pochi secondi. Qualcosa però è cambiato. Sembrerebbe infatti che durante la sua convalescenza, un perfido e ambizioso alter ego si sia impadronito dell'identità di Harold scombinandogli vita privata e lavoro. Ma si tratta davvero di un sosia oppure è tutto frutto della sua follia?
