It is in times of crisis that we learn what is most valuable, and what does not matter... James and John Shelby, identical twins biologically, but polar opposites psychologically. James, the older by a few minutes, is quiet and long-suffering, while, John, the younger, is passionate and lusty. They function to balance one another out in a symbiotic relationship. Slowly but surely, however, choices begin to lead them in opposite directions, until one fateful summer day, when life changes their relationship to a degree unforeseen, and one is left to make sense of his existence without the other.
