Cassidy plays Suki, a young woman dealing with multiple-personality disorder who undergoes an experimental procedure to cure her illness that involves a machine named “The Siamese Burn.” John Suits directs a script Daniel Schaffer adapted from his own graphic novel, which was published by Image Comics in 2006.
