Narrative


Equilibrium: Aidan is at his father's funeral, with Ethan and Lily. They are all reasonably wealthy, good looking upper middle class people.


Disruption: Elijah tells them that Aidan's father was killed and did not die. After some looking into it, Aidan finds out something more mysterious. A night time attack on their shared apartment sees the would be assailant beaten, but he flees and as news of the assault spreads, Aidan, Ethan and Lily shoot up most wanted lists. On the run from the police, they still attempt to find out more about why they were attacked and the death, and uncover the truth.


Restoration: In the mad wicked chase scene to end all chase scenes, Aidan, Ethan and Lily catch Kevin/Victor and he admits the truth, before escaping in an extravagant manner. However, with the police on their tails, they try to escape, but Ethan is just caught by a police sergeant and is arrested. At some point, Aidan and Lily share a kiss, before Ethan is taken away. Ethan is put in jail and blamed for all of Victor/Kevin's crimes.


Resolution: Ethan is in jail, during visting time. A couple walk up, hand in hand, with rings on, and Ethan picks up the receiver. A woman's voice says 'We're getting you out' and Ethan smiles. Lead on to possible sequel.
