Premise
The story centers on identical twin brothers Cade and Cale Altair, who are abducted as children and transformed into hybrid artificial intelligence agents. As adults, Cade fights to protect humanity while Cale becomes entangled with a powerful, secret organization. The plot weaves themes of virtual reality, espionage, romance, and a battle to stop a looming cyber-terror threat.

Production and release
Funding for the film came from a GoFundMe campaign that raised about $7,073. Principal photography began on September 2, 2017, at Nevada State College. Twisted Pair was produced by Neil Breen Films, LLC. It had its world premiere on October 3, 2018, at the Laemmle Theatre in North Hollywood, California, and was released in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2019.

Reception and legacy
Like Breen’s previous works, Twisted Pair received mostly negative reviews from critics and audiences, but it has developed a small cult following for its distinctive and unconventional style.

Sequel
A sequel, Cade: The Tortured Crossing, premiered on February 25, 2023, at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live. Breen announced that filming for the project had wrapped in December 2022, with a planned early-2023 festival run.
