Assume everything is in progress, no recollections, no dreams, just facts. From the very beginning, PETE took the place of Fred's life. This started when a strange thing happened to PETE. His girlfriend and parents saw him disappear suddenly. At the moment of thunder and lightning, PETE disappeared and became Fred. Living in a big mansion, his movements were very slow at this time, which made me dazed, maybe I started to adjust to my new life slowly. I know from the back that FRED's wife RENEE was sold by a friend and sold it to the black boss to make a salty film. RENEE enjoyed it very much. FRED finally bought the salty film made by his wife one day. corpse, FRED himself was sentenced to death.

In the death row, FRED changed back to PETE when the lightning flashed, and PETE had only a small matter, and was immediately taken away by his parents. PETE went back to work in the repair shop, saw the black boss, helped him fix the car, saw the black boss woman ALICE, and began to have hallucinations, until he killed the pimp, ran to the desert hut, turned back to FRED, saw the black boss and FRED's wife RENEE was working, and then killed the black boss. Because he became FRED, he had to go back to FRED's house. Unexpectedly, he ran into the police and was chased by the police, and turned back to PETE in the car. The end of the play.

If everything makes sense, PETE becomes FRED, FRED becomes PETE, and if he is on death row, he can get out again. The police can't see the problem, so they can only use supernatural phenomena to explain it. In this way, the whole drama has unlimited development, and the director can do whatever he wants.
