About Seconds

Arthur Hamilton, trapped in a monotonous existence, seizes an extraordinary opportunity. A shadowy organization offers him a complete transformation: a staged death, reconstructive surgery, and a new identity. Reborn as Antiochus Wilson, he enters a world of hedonistic pleasures and artistic expression, seemingly free from his past burdens. However, this idyllic facade crumbles as Wilson discovers that escaping oneself is an impossible feat, and the price of his new life is far steeper than he ever imagined. The film delves into the psychological consequences of tampering with identity and the illusion of escaping one's true self, revealing the disturbing truth that running away from your problems only leads to new, and perhaps even more harrowing, ones.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
