In a futuristic world the characters are almost all surrogates who are controlled by people who stay at home rather than go to work. With having surrogates the murder rate is down and life is great. However there are areas where they are people only and the populace do not accept surrogates. There is a new weapon that not only kills the surrogate, but also the person behind the surrogate. Several murders are committed, including police men. Greer (Bruce Willis) and Peters (Radha Mitchell) are police men investigating the murders. Greer and his wife Maggie (Rosamund Pike) grow farther and farther apart as they never interact as people but only as surrogates. In their research the visit the creator of the surrogates, Canter (James Cromwell). He only appears as a surrogate to anyone; but he has several different forms.
This makes for a very good who done it mystery as they try to track this weapon and get rid of it. The connections also end up becoming very important, and the world as everyone knows it will be forever changed. In this movie things are not as they seem, because a surrogate could represent anyone and you don't know who they might be.
