Roman joins a support group for people who have lost their twins. There he befriends Dennis, who had a brief romantic encounter with Roman's twin brother but secretly pretends that he also lost a twin. James Sweeney's second film is a darkly comic drama that features two unpleasant characters: Roman is a violent hothead and Dennis a psychotic stalker and manipulator. Despite the set up, this is not a tense thriller but a story about grief and loneliness. The only scary part is the bafflingy hopeful final scene. While Dylan O'Brien gives a solid performance, James Sweeney has a very limited range.
