(Our movie appears at one time simple to grasp
At other times, the plot eldues the mind
like the fleeing thug with the ski mask
So we offer a synposis
To clear the confusion
Our greatest task
But one last question...)
The movie opens with a shot of a dead body laying on the ground
a car drives up and we are introduced to a detective like character that begins to inspect the body
he seems very seriuos, he is wearing a coat and black pants
on the ground we see a dark hat
the detective takes some time to look over the body
searching for clues, he inspects a bullet found by the body
he picks up the hat looks it over and throws it back down
he stands up and looks around - the music stops
then he pulls out a cigarette and lights it with the dead body visible in the background
a dissolve takes us to a shot of another person walking up to the same hat
he picks it up and puts it on his head, but we never see his face
as he begins to search we notice that he is wearing the same jacket and pants that the other detective was wearing
as he is looking around we begin to get the sense that he is being watched from behind dumpsters and other objects
we dont know by who and even though he beomes aware that he is being watched he cant seem to find out who it is
he begins to chase this illusive stalker across a busy street and into the adjacent alley
as he is doing so we get the impression that this stalker may not exist at all
he chases him up some stairs and onto a roof top
we than see some wires and strange piping and tubing leading to something
at the same time we see our detective standing by a dupster looking around
there is then an explosion by the dumpster
we see shots of our detective standing on roof tops over-exposed and very bright
we get the sense that our detective has died or has been transported to another place
we then are transported and see the face of our original detective holding a gun pointed towards us as he screams
stop
this begins the second chase as we follow the original detective chasing down a man we have never seen before
the chase takes us up and down valleys and across bridges
finally ends as our original detective chases his man up a grassy incline and tackles him to the ground
we see close ups of the mans faces and strangely do not recognize the man he has just chased down
the face of the man he has just captured transforms into the face of the second detective
they are both confused and shocked by this and the second man throws the other man off from ontop of him
we then see the second detective going crazy in a montage as he rips off his jacket and begins to lose his mind
both of the detectives are back in the grassy area as they search for each other amongst the trees
when they finally encounter each other they stand and look at each other as they both fade in and out of reality
we then go back to the city were we see both detectives standing around the crime scene smoking
back to the grassy area the two detectives begin fighting with each other out of desperation
the first detective ends up killing the second detective
we then see the second detective walking off into the distance as the shot fades to white
back to the city the first detective stands alone
aparantly now away from the alteranate detective that was haunting his consciousness
the second detective is back in the grassy area
he finds the hat he previously used to enter the mind of the original detective and puts it on
back to the city we see the original detective again standing the same way unaware of what has just taken place
we see the hat falling from the sky and we follow it all the way until it fades to black

(... Are we correct?
You might ask)
