What would you do, if you met your double?
Debbie Jones thinks life is an adventure. Even having lost her husband a year ago, she's ready for whatever the world might throw her way. Being in her sixties doesn't mean it's all over for her yet, and she loves her new job doing neighbourhood support for a charity. Then she knocks on a stranger's front door.
Ruth Waverley doesn't like surprises. Her life isn't perhaps all she once dreamed of, but what other options are there for a woman in her sixties? She's proud of her home and children. And she likes her life well enough. Then she hears someone knocking at the door.
As the door opens, both Ruth and Debbie get the shock of their lives. As their eyes meet ' the recognition is instant. Not because they've met before. But because they have the same face. They're completely identical.
And everything is about to change, for both women. In ways they couldn't possibly imagine'
