Life appears to be going well for Gina.  She has a good job, as a radiographer in a London hospital, and is in a steady relationship, with Stéphane, a Frenchman.  Then, one day, her world starts to fall apart.  It begins when a mirror falls from the wall and smashes when she is having a birthday meal with her father.  Gina interprets this as a bad omen.  Later, she sees a woman who appears to be her exact double sitting behind the steering wheel of a car that is identical to her own. Intrigued, Gina follows the strange woman back to her apartment and makes a shocking discovery...
