Description:

Undermind is a well-written, trippy drama in which two versions of the same man exchange places in parallel realities. Sam Trammell (Beat) plays spineless corporate lawyer Derrick Hall, suffocating under the legacy of his late, highly respected father and the overbearing presence of his mother (Celia Weston) in every part of his life, including his engagement to the understanding Olivia (Susan May Pratt). After a night of drinking, Derrick wakes up as Zane Waye, a singer-songwriter caught up in the criminal life of his brother (Erik Jensen) but also living in the shadow of a beloved father, in this case a murdered cop. While Derrick figures out how to get along as Zane, the latter gets his bearings in Derrick's well-heeled world. Writer-director Nevil Dwek cleverly demonstrates how each man seems better equipped for the other's life, and he has fun shuffling the identities of other characters between the two dimensions. Smart and absorbing. --Tom Keogh
