One step further, and Rodrigues would tumble into the void, leaving his anguish and despair to fade into the distant past. Yet, as he teeters on the brink, poised to leap from his New York City high-rise, a figure draws his gaze. Behind him stands his doppelganger, the nine-year-old boy he once was - a disquieting and inexplicable presence that can only be the figment of his fevered imagination or a hallucination born of desperation. And still, it's achingly real. It is then that the two Rodrigues set out on a journey through time, retracing the defining moments of his life, from childhood's innocence to adulthood's disillusionment, up to this pivotal moment where he stands at the abyss's edge, prepared to surrender all.
