    Storyline

    Edit
    John Rotit is quite happy, with a loving wife. Moments later, he's a rock star shooting up heroin. And after that...he's something far more sinister. John unwillingly moves between three parallel lives and knowingly exists in each. He has no clue how or why this phenomenon is occurring. John's judgment becomes even more clouded as his mind unravels, and he'll do anything to end his "flashes" and remain in the one life where he's truly happy. —Andrew M. Henderson

    B Lister Acting makes this a real clunker
    I felt like this was a college class project where they promised parts to pretty girls and people who may have helped invest in the movie. It moves quite slowly. Amazing how you can not care about the same character in 3 different realities! Christopher Judge was okay, but Tom Sizemore was in one scene and had about 5 lines. Cha Ching for the paycheck. The girl playing his wife did her lines like she was reading a book. The main character looks like he gets plumper in his lips. It is distracting. The acting was so extremely wooden by pretty much all. In the end, the thing that kills it is this movie is just plain boring. I doubt if good actors could of helped it out.
