In one world, Howard is a cog in the bureaucratic machinery of a Berlin-based United Nations spy agency.

The characters on both sides of the parallel worlds look identical, but they can be unrecognizable once they begin to act. What does it mean when one character takes over the role of their "other's" life across worlds?
While Howard is held across worlds, his other will remain in his life, picking up where he left off.
Prime will be there when Emily wakes from her coma. He'll take her home. Will he be honest about who he is from the start?
