Dual will star Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan as a terminally ill woman. When faced with the fear of leaving her loved ones behind, she decides to clone herself before succumbing to her illness. However, after making a miraculous recovery, Gillan’s character fails to have her clone decommissioned leading to a duel to the death for one of them.
