Synopsis

ONE BODY-FIVE PEOPLE…AND ONE OF THEM IS A VIOLENT KILLER

A SEARING PORTRAIT OF FIVE EGO's [sic] STRUGGLING TO BECOME ONE BEFORE ONE MAN DESTROYS THEM ALL.
This is the story of a multiple schizophrenic whose case history spanned 37 years.
Threatened as a child with castration by a deranged father, Dana Hawksworth (DAVID BIRNEY) grew up with a time bomb inside him.
When THE SPLIT came, in the inferno of the Korean War, Hawksworth became not two, but five distinct people.
One of them is a violent alcoholic, who causes the death of his best friend in a horrific car crash, and then attempts to strangle his own pregnant wife Annie (DEE WALLACE).
In the final harrowing scene - confined in a padded cell - Dana engages in a titanic struggle against the demonic forces that threaten to destroy him.
