Set in the suburban town of Rosewood, the story follows Phyllis Adams, a young woman who discovers she has a twin sister, Phyllis B, through a series of unexpected events.

Their relationships with Phyllis provide additional layers of emotional complexity, highlighting the importance of human connection in shaping one's sense of self.
