As Adam delves deeper into his search, he discovers that Anthony is a local actor with a limited number of credits and is married to a pregnant woman named Helen. The two men look identical, from their facial hair to a scar they both have, but Anthony seems more put together and successful compared to Adam's somber and routine existence.
