Byrkit had made several short films as director, most notably the intriguing sounding Fractulus (2005) about humanity trying to locate the whereabouts of God in the universe. As things start to go awry, they realise that there is not just one but a multiple versions of themselves that are interacting and have even snuck into the house.Ĭoherence is a debut feature for James Ward Byrkit, previously a storyboard artist and production illustrator on various films. As they debate what to do, some in the group start regarding their selves in the other house with hostility and plotting against them. The people across the street are an alternate version of themselves.

From a book on quantum physics, they piece together that the comet has caused multiple divergent realities in which they took slightly different courses of action to blur together. As Hugh goes to place a note on the door of the house, they hear a knock and find an identically worded note placed on their own door. Several of the group go to investigate and return with a box taken from the property that contains photos of themselves that they are startled to realise could only have been taken that night.

When it comes back on, they find that house across the street is the only one that has power. During the middle of dinner, the power goes out. It is the night of the passby of a comet, which is causing strange anomalies including disrupting cellphone service.
