Elspeth Noblin’s will leaves her Highgate flat in London to her American twin nieces Julia and Valentina. The twins look alike, dress alike but as with Elspeth and her sister Edie one is more dependent therefore more dominant than the other. Living in London Valentina wants to attend art college and starts a relationship with Elspeth’s downstairs neighbour and lover Robert Fanshawe. Julia becomes friends with Martin an obsessive but brilliant crossword compiler who cannot leave his own flat because of crippling OCD. The stage is set for hauntings, doomed love and a breathtakingly callous betrayal that will alter your perception of one character completely. If there is a moral to this story it’s be careful what you wish for – you may get it but it might not be your own wish.
