Logline: Toby has multi-personality disorder. After his father dies in a freak accident, the police suspect murder. Getting nowhere, they call in his psychiatrist who persuades Toby to confess. But who is telling the truth?
Synopsis: Toby suffers from multiple personality disorder. He’s the only son of one of the wealthiest men in the country, a man about to retire and hand over his business to Toby. One night, after returning from a restaurant with his father, an accident happens while parking the car. His father is killed. The accident is so bizarre that the police suspect Toby of murder. Two detectives take him in for questioning but get nowhere. To start, Toby denies being who he is, and knowing anything about the accident. The police get nowhere; Toby’s alter egos keep surfacing to protect him for talking to them. The police call in Toby’s long-term psychotherapist, Dr Jane Levy. They ask for her help with the interrogation, and she agrees to interview Toby, but in private. She would record the session, but this would only be handed over to the police should Toby confess to a crime. During her session Toby’s alter egos  reveal what has happened in Toby’s life to make him how he is. Stories emerge of his ill treatment in his childhood, and that he’s gay, a fact he had hidden from the world all his life. The personalities keep changing, each telling a different aspect of Toby’s life. Finally it emerges what really happened in the garage that night. Toby, now  himself, confesses to the murder. Yes, he must have deliberately driven the car into his father, crushing him against the garage wall. By now, all the reasons he committed the crime are self-evident. However, Toby feels no relief in the confession. Instead, and despite Jane’s attempts to stop him, he goes on to re-examine the events of the evening as he now remembers them. A new version emerges. There was a third person in the car! The dinner had been a disaster. Both Toby and his father had gotten drunk and loose lipped. His father had told Toby that he wasn’t going to pass the business to him, the useless son who had been a constant disappointment to him. Instead he was selling it all, lock, stock and barrel, and moving abroad. Toby wouldn’t get a penny. His father also confessed that he’d been in a long-term relationship with Jane Levy, a relationship he intended to end as soon as the business was sold. She was a parasite after his money, and she too would be scraped off without a penny. By the time the meal was over they were both too drunk to drive. His father had called Jane, and she’d agreed to drive them home. It was Jane driving the car that night! On the drive home, Toby’s father had berated him for being not man enough to give him a grandchild, the hope of someone capable of being someone to take over his empire. In a fit of rage, Toby had confessed to his father he was gay, and then told Jane he knew about her affair. Further, his father was going to ditch her as soon as the business was sold. That was just as the garage automatic doors started to open.During Toby’s therapy sessions with Jane he would occasionally get agitated. So, she had hypnotised him so that whenever she said a specific trigger word he would immediately fall into a deep sleep. Now, desperate to shut him up, she barks out the trigger word. Toby is immediately in a deep sleep. While under, Jane switches off the recorder and deletes it. As she does this, she berates him, confessing to the murder and that she’d been manipulating his mind for years to keep him needing her help, and therefore in his father’s life. But it’s not as it seems. Toby gradually looks up at her, wide-awake, never hypnotised. In fact, he had been working with the police, wired to record everything. Her confession was now on the record. The two cops burst into the room and charge Jane, cuff her, then drag her off. As she leaves she screams abuse at Toby. Toby smiles. He is now free, and will inherit all his father’s wealth. At last he is free of the past and can finally live life as himself.
