Synopsis

Macking across the Universe dives into a disorienting and compelling journey through the fragmented existence of a man named Mack, whose life isn't a singular path, but a multitude of diverging realities. This isn't a straightforward story, but a complex exploration of identity and reality. The narrative unfolds across a spectrum of alternate realities, where different versions of Mack are simultaneously living out their own distinct lives, each thread representing a different version of himself, each one offering a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of self.

In one reality, Mack might be an exterminator confronting a terrifying infestation, battling monstrous things in the unsettling depths of an abandoned house. In another, he's entangled in a complex and deteriorating relationship with his high school sweetheart, their love story twisting into a dark narrative of infidelity and potential violence. Yet another version of Mack might be perceived as a dangerous figure from his younger brother's perspective, a man shrouded in a past of lies and manipulation. We even see him as a heartless businessman, coldly exploiting a system for profit.

Each of these realities presents a different facet of Mack, revealing the potential for multiplicity, for both good and evil, within a single individual. He is not just one man, but many, his identity fractured and fluid across these varying existences, raising the question of which, if any, is the "true" Mack. You will question the very nature of identity and the infinite possibilities that reside within us all, challenging us to consider the unsettling idea that our sense of self is a fragile construct, easily shattered and reformed by the currents of existence.
