Multiplicity

Doug Kinney, a construction worker in Los Angeles, faces significant challenges at work due to the incompetence of his employee, Vic. His employer, Ted Gray, places further pressure on him by requiring him to work additional hours to compensate for Vic's mistakes.

Doug's hectic work schedule leads to rising tensions at home, particularly with his wife, Laura. She struggles to restart her real estate career, feeling neglected and frustrated by Doug's absence.

On a job at a scientific facility, Doug meets Dr. Leeds, a scientist with a groundbreaking cloning method. Intrigued by the technology, Doug learns about the possibility of cloning himself to manage his responsibilities.

Dr. Leeds permits Doug to clone himself, resulting in the creation of 'Two', who is a hyper-masculine version of Doug. This clone takes over Doug's work duties, hoping to grant Doug more time with his family.

With Lance (Doug's clone) working efficiently, Doug finds himself overwhelmed with chores and childcare. He longs for leisure activities like golf but is unable to enjoy them due to his increasing domestic responsibilities.

While dining out with Laura, Doug discovers that Lance is on a date of his own, leading to a series of complications. Concerned about keeping his cloning a secret, Doug worries that his double might reveal their arrangement.

Doug decides to create another clone to assist with housework, resulting in 'Three', who identifies as 'Rico'. Rico's nurturing and sensitive traits create tension between the clones, particularly with the more aggressive Lance.

Lance and Rico attempt to create a fourth clone, named Lenny, but his lower intelligence leads to comedic misunderstandings. Doug becomes frustrated with the new clones’ antics and declares that no further clones will be made.

Rico encourages Laura to buy non-refundable tickets to Orlando for Christmas, a decision that infuriates Doug. Laura, feeling overwhelmed by Doug's behavior, expresses her dissatisfaction with him.

Needing an escape, Doug decides to take a sailing trip, leaving the clones to manage his life at home. He instructs them to avoid Laura, but the clones struggle to follow this directive.

While Doug is away, the clones each have unexpected romantic encounters with Laura, believing they are Doug. This series of events leads to further misunderstandings and complications in Doug's marriage.

Due to Rico's incompetence during a construction site inspection, Doug is suddenly fired from his job. This setback adds to the strain in Doug's life as he grapples with personal and professional turmoil.

Frustrated by Doug's mood swings and neglect, Laura decides to take the children and move in with her parents. Doug discovers their departure and realizes that the clones have further complicated his life.

Determined to win back Laura's love, Doug, with the help of the clones, embarks on a home renovation project. This effort symbolizes his commitment to making things right and restoring his family.

The clones decide to leave Doug to start their own lives, opening a pizzeria in Miami. They embrace their new identities while Doug takes charge of his own construction business, marking a new chapter for everyone.
