There's this indie short film called You Me & Her, it's about a woman who discovers a bunch of alternate reality versions of herself have been falling into her universe. Meeting all these other versions of herself make her realize all of the possibilities her life could have been, and how bad her life really is. Because so many versions of her are coming through, the whole fabric of reality is in danger, and she must maintain her current life and avoid the temptation to change or else reality might cease to exist.
I haven't seen the whole movie, but just from the trailer I've gotten a few ideas.
The Five Companions: Flip the trope of the multiple Doctor story. Suddenly, everyone at the table (who is not the Doctor) is playing the same character. There's the companion from this reality, there's the one from some apocalyptic universe, the otherwise normal one that never met the Doctor, the hippie sky-pilot version, the highly successful super smart version, and the prerequisite evil universe version (goatee and/or eye patch optional) Maybe one of the alternate universe versions is planning some kind of evil plot and figured out to try and bring a parallel universe version of them to take the blame?
The Department of Parallel Realities They off-hand mention the DPR in the trailer (I assume that's what the acronym stands for) which might make for something like an American version of Torchwood Three. In some major city there's a space-time rift that intersects with a lot of parallel realities. And some underfunded bureaucratic agency is established to deal with this problem and keep it out of public view. Lots of other nasty stuff can pop through the rift, giving you stuff to shot at, but maybe the most dangerous thing you might have to deal with are the elected officials you have to constantly placate to justify your job.
