Guido Marchisio, forty-six, is a rising executive at a multinational in Turin, backed by his bosses and living with a much younger, beautiful partner. On 26 October 2011 an unexpected encounter plants a doubt in him: could he have a double somewhere, a forgotten twin? Day by day the doubt becomes an obsession, and his life begins to slide downhill just as his company and his city are doing. His role as a cold cutter of jobs and his image as a successful man start to slip away, while around him the industrial decline of Italy unfolds amid strikes and union battles.
