Black’. The main character, Sarah<br />
Manning, is sent to a minimum<br />

with the law. From the moment<br />

experience is unlike any other she’s<br />
had. As the prison driver reveals<br />
herself to Sarah, Sarah sees the<br />
spitting image of herself (possibly<br />
her long lost twin?). But, that theory<br />
is debunked when a detective joins<br />
them in the minivan who is also a<br />
mirror image of Sarah. In a panic,<br />
Sarah gets out of the car only to find<br />
a fourth version of herself when it is<br />
revealed that she is, in fact, a clone.<br />
