Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Two dysfunctional teenage twins fall under the spell of a charismatic 20-something with an unusual view of relationships in this quirky psycho-drama from the UK. 16-year-old fraternal twins Owen and Kristen live in a world all their own. They spend most of their days caring for their disabled mom, whom they both love dearly. But lately their lives have grown a bit too predictable for their own comfort. When the slightly-older Liam strolls into their lives, Kristen gazes at him with stars in her eyes, and Owen views him as the perfect role model. Then, one night, after hitting the pubs with inexperienced drinker Owen, Liam invites the teen back to his apartment, and jokingly talks him into donning some fashionable women's clothing. The moment Owen looks in the mirror it's as if he's seen his true self for the very first time. Meanwhile smitten Liam offers Owen unconditional love if he assumes his sister's identity. Though Owen initially decides to humor his handsome suitor, Liam's increasingly erratic behavior prompts the concerned cross-dresser to try and run away. Owen's hasty escape plan is unexpectedly thwarted, however, when Liam sweeps him away to a luxurious honeymoon suite, where the true depth of his love will be put to the ultimate test.
