Identical twin brothers Beverly and Elliot Mantle share a great many things in life. From a young age they've shared the same interests and now as adults, they're both gynecologists specializing in female infertility. They share an apartment as well but personality-wise, Elliot is far more confident than Beverly. Elliot is also quite the ladies man and usually passes his women on to Beverly. They're both seeing Claire Niveau who realizes the differences between the two - she knows only of Beverly - but can can't quite explain the differences in personality. When a friend tells her about them being twins, the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. For Elliot, Claire is just another plaything but Beverly has developed genuine feelings for her and he begins a downward spiral leading to tragedy.—garykmcd
