|---|
Danielle, a model, sleeps with a man, but the next morning she finds him brutally murdered. She suspects her seperated Siamese twin, Dominique.
Grace, a journalist who lives next door, witnessed the murder. She calls the cops, but by the time they get there Danielle's doctor and ex-husband, Emil has helped clean up and hide the body in the couch.
On her own to solve the crime, Grace hires a PI who follows a van with the couch in it in hopes of finding someone else involved, but the couch is just dumped along the railroad tracks. Grace follows Danielle and Emil to an asylum where Emil convinces the staff that Grace is a patient.
Emil hypnotizes her and makes her believe that she was mistaken and there was no murder.
Grace learns that Dominique died over a year ago and Danielle, unbeknownst to her, acts as Dominique as another personality.
While Emil is trying to calm Danielle she turns into Dominique and kills him.
Danielle is arrested for killing Emil and the other man.
Grace, due to the hypnotism, can no longer help the police solve the crime.
