SOMEONE LIKE ME (SYNOPSIS)

SOMEONE LIKE ME is a love story unlike any most of us can understand. We can all experience the love of amother, father, friend, spouse, brother or sister. Few of us can know the love of a twin—it is a truly spiritual experience. Mary and Margaret share this special bond. Craig (Craig Strong) and Finn (Finn Curtin), their respective boyfriends, are privileged guests in this world. When the identical twins suspect each other's boyfriends of infidelities and disinterest they hatch a plot to test the men. Switching identities becomes the ultimate test of their twinship.
