Summary

A jazz saxophonist and his wife begin receiving mysterious videotapes of their home, and after a violent incident he finds himself inexplicably transformed into a young auto mechanic entangled with a gangster's girlfriend. David Lynch's neo-noir spirals through identity, jealousy, and dreamlike doubling, refusing easy answers as the two storylines bleed into one another.
