Sister Mary has the power to alter and recreate a person’s reality as well as control people’s feelings. All over Columbus, residents are feeling her wrath. David, Deanne, and their friends have now returned but are in for a very personal touch. According to the nun, someone opened the portal that connects this world to hers, and they must fix it. Unless the portal is closed, she threatens to force David and his friends into realities of her own making, over and over. If the portal remains open, the group of friends will become lost to another world and another reality. Sister Mary has offered them a chance to end the madness; they must find a way to close the portal or be forever lost wandering the in-between.

For millennia people have held folk beliefs about the existence of the doppelganger--"double walker" in German--a look-alike second self that is often the antithesis of one's identity and is usually considered an omen of misfortune or death. The theme of the double has inspired works by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Poe, de Maupassant, Dostoevsky and others, and has been the basis for many classic mystery, horror and science fiction movies. This critical survey examines the double in more than 100 films by such acclaimed directors as Alfred Hitchcock, Mario Bava, Roger Corman, David Cronenberg, George Romero, Fritz Lang, James Cameron, Robert Siodmak, Don Siegel, John Frankenheimer, Terry Gilliam, Brian De Palma and Roman Polanski.

A figure from ancient folklore, the doppelganger--in fiction a character's sinister look-alike--continues to appear in literature, television and film. The modern-day version (of the Doppelganger, or "double-goer" in German) is typically depicted in a form adapted to reflect present-day social anxieties. Focusing on a broad range of narratives, the author explores 21st century representations in novels (such as Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry, Jose Saramago's The Double), television shows (Orphan Black, Battlestar Galactica, Ringer) and movies (The Island, The Prestige, Oblivion).
