Peter is the son of a Pulitzer prize author that goes back to live in his dad's old apartment. He discovers how to make things transcendent in human history and tries to harness this power but slowly loses his mind. He splits his personality into two different entities, one created by his work and the other with what is left. He asks himself what elements define who we are? Are we built by the elements that society gives us, such as our name? Or is there a substantial element that lives within ourselves that prevails even when outside conditions transform themselves? He searches for that glory, but he is tired of doing it the old way. He cuts corners and plays with his own mind. The search for fame, recognition and even immortality is an obsession that leads him into his own destruction.
