Plot Overview

Matilda West, a beautiful and brilliant scientist, materializes in a parallel dimension and is confronted by a woman with her face – her doppelganger, hardened soldier, Dark Matilda. When the two women touch, they vanish and are transported back to Matilda's lab. Driven by her desire to advance the science of teleportation, Matilda has caused friction amongst her colleagues and strained her marriage. Her strange journey – and the appearance of Dark Matilda – is proof of her success. But life and relationships were different in Dark Matilda's post-apocalyptic world and she begins to connect with her parallel counterparts. When both Matildas get ill – verification of a theory that life from different dimensions cannot co-exist – it becomes clear that one must return...

Quotes

• Lilith: We look in mirrors every day. The reflection back shows us what other people see. But it takes more than a mirror to see inside our souls. Matilda West has always been a force of nature, the type of woman who'll never back down from a challenge or take no for an answer. A woman who'll do almost anything to survive. But even someone as beautiful and brilliant and tough as Matilda will eventually meet her match in this world or the other.

• Dark Matilda West: If everyone here is as naive as the three of you… in a few years, I'm gonna be running this dimension. (chuckles)
