      Tasha sa vždy cítila v tieni svojej staršej sestry Alice. Ich životné štýly sú úplne odlišné; Alice je vydatá za bohatého podnikateľa Kyla a má úspešnú kariéru, zatiaľ čo Tasha je vydatá za svojho detského miláčika a žije v predmestí Bristolu s ich štvormesačnými dvojičkami. Keď si Alice uvedomí, že Tasha bojuje - s peniazmi, deťmi, stratou identity - navrhne, aby si na týždeň vymenili životy. Alice a Kyle prídu bývať do Tashiného domu, aby sa postarali o dvojičky, zatiaľ čo Tasha a Harry strávia týždeň v byte Alice a Kyla vo Viedni. Po niekoľkých dňoch sa však všetko zle vyvinie. Tasha dostane telefonát, že Alice je v nemocnici a Kyle je mŕtvy po tom, čo do ich domu vnikol zlodej. Myslia si, že to musela byť zlodejská akcia, ktorá sa pokazila. Až kým nepríde poznámka, ktorá hovorí: "Malo to byť ty." Kto bol tú noc tam a prečo? Skutočne je Tasha ich cieľom? A dokážu tieto dve sestry nájsť odpovede, ktoré potrebujú, alebo sa dostanú k niečomu oveľa temnejšiemu?
