Synopsis: Mirror Image

We've all heard the theories of parallel worlds. Supposedly there are thousands of them, layered all around each other like onions. But they're just theories, of course. Nothing's been proven yet.

Right?

Sean is an ordinary boy. Perhaps a bit too bookish, too fond of his computer and not fond enough of sports. But then, one day, he discovers a gateway to another world, a parallel dimension.

A world where there is no technology. None.

Instead, people use magic, innate and otherwise, for all everyday pastimes. Entertainment, communication, transportation, all run by magic. Sean discovers people he knows, except that they're not the people he remembers. Even his family is different. His mother and father are as he remembers... but he does not exist in this world. Instead, his parents have another child, Julian, more or less the same age as Sean, but different in many ways and clearly not his double.

Once over their innitial mistrust and odd jealousy, the boys become firm friends and begin to explore each others' worlds, and soon one begins to learn magic, while the other discovers the wonders of technology.

However, there are problems on both worlds. War. Famine. Disease. Death. Over the decades it has been getting progressively worse. But there is something behind it, something much bigger than the boys could ever have imagined. And they are part of a select few who can stop it.

If they fail, every universe will perish.
