(PG-13 - adult language, adult themes, adult situations)

PLOT:
Identical triplet brothers Robert Shafran, Eddy Galland and David Kellman didn't meet each other, let alone know about each other, until they were nineteen years old in 1980, when both Bobby and Eddy coincidentally attended Sullivan County College one year apart and students at the college who knew Eddy saw the obvious physical resemblance when Bobby arrived on campus. David was reunited with his biological brothers soon after when Bobby and Eddy's meeting hit the media which included their photographs. While Bobby, Eddy, and David, in those early years, were solely focusing on doing the media circuit and spending time with each other after all these years, with much of their beings being so similar, their respective adoptive parents - three sets who came from an upper middle class, middle class and working-class backgrounds, respectively - had questions for the adoption agency, Louise Wise, the largest adoption agency specializing in Jewish families. None of the parents were told that the boys they were adopting were within a set of triplets who were going to be separated. That meeting with Louise Wise administrators yielded little "spoken" information to the parents. It wasn't until problems started to emerge with the brothers, which included a falling out over a joint business venture that yielded them millions, that the brothers themselves began to think more about the reasons behind why they were separated. Their quest for the complete truth, which to this day is not fully known and probably cannot be, led them in the direction that much of what shaped their growing up environment was not by accident where they and other twins and triplets were used as scientific guinea pigs.

PLOT:
Nearly two long decades after the life-altering events in one family man's life and the grotesque emergence of the powerful "Beast" persona in one deranged individual, the now-grizzled avenger of the innocent--David Dunn, or "The Overseer"--still tries to track down the Horde and the elusive kidnapper, Kevin Wendell Crumb. However, a mysterious new adversary in the person of the determined and silver-tongued psychiatrist, Dr Ellie Staple, has made it her mission to convince David, Kevin, and Raven Hill Memorial's wheel-bound brittle-boned inmate, Elijah Price, that the delusional super-humans are, in fact, mere mortals. Now, the stage seems set for the ultimate revelation, against the backdrop of an imminent deadly confrontation. Is there a moment of life beyond what fate has predestined?

PLOT:
In broad daylight, after an innocent birthday party at a mall, the unsuspecting art-class schoolmates--Casey, Claire, and Marcia--fall prey to the creepy predator, Kevin Wendell Crumb, a shattered man suffering from dissociative identity disorder. Not one, but twenty-three distinct and suppressed personalities reside inside Kevin; however, from the horde that plagues him, some identities are, inevitably, more sinister than others. Sooner or later, the elusive 24th "Beast" persona will emerge in all its glory, as an amalgam of Kevin's qualities, and the highest form of human evolution. Nevertheless, is the feared monster within real, or is it a figment of Crumb's morbidly demented imagination
