Plot summary
Set in contemporary Los Angeles, Double Image is a noir thriller that centers on Mitch Coltrane, a war photographer who intends to retire following a nearly fatal mission in Bosnia. During his recovery, he visits an exhibition by Randolph Packard, a renowned photographer from the 1920s and 1930s. Now advanced in age, Packard proposes a joint venture to Coltrane: to photograph the same Los Angeles residences he had captured decades earlier, highlighting the city's evolution. However, before they can commence, Packard passes away and leaves Coltrane a trove of photographs.
As Coltrane embarks on this endeavor, one particular house—remarkably well-preserved over time—captures his attention. He purchases this property, once owned by Packard, and uncovers a concealed vault containing thousands of images portraying a striking young woman. Alongside his partner Jennifer, Coltrane delves into uncovering her story, revealing an intricate network of deception and mystery.
