The Man who Met Himself

Synopsis

A mysterious call, a photograph of a man and a private detective compelled by the one case that has finally got to him. One stark but brilliant day in London, Austin Peterson takes a job from an anonymous client, a demand he knows he should refuse. He uses the feelings of the woman who loves him to get information. But this only raises more questions than it answers, leading Peterson deeper into the maze. He discovers that the man in the photograph committed suicide four years before, and haunted by the unanswered questions, he subjects the dead man's family and friends to his investigation.
