Plot – During summer camp two girls discover that they are twins, separated at birth by their parents' unnatural and egotistical decision to get divorced and split the girls. The girls decide to switch places in order to meet the parent that they have never known and to plan the reunification of the family. Hectic phone calls between London and California will follow, but the unexpected engagement of their father seems to be compromising the plan. Anyway, the twins have more than one card up their sleeves.
