Nadine is Lebanese Catholic. Gabi is Jewish. Nadine deals with the turmoil in her family by escaping to the drive-in to get high. Gabi channels her anxiety and depression into working her family's pig farm. Nadine's sister, Alina, is in the grips of a mysterious and painful illness. Gabi's bubbly, awkward cousin, Samantha, is struggling to find her own identity outside her relationship with her gregarious nonbinary sibling.
Gabi and Nadine have never met. But they just found out that, thanks to a mistake at the hospital sixteen-years-ago, they've been living each other's lives. And their journeys down the rabbit holes of who they might have been bring them towards painful realizations, emotional catastrophe...and the people who just might be able to save them.
