One twin is imprisoned for a terrible crime, while the other will do anything to set her free. Tila stumbles home one night, terrified and covered in blood, and is arrested for murder, the first civilian case in decades. The San Francisco police suspect her involvement with Zeal, a powerful drug, and offer her twin sister Taema a chilling deal: assume Tila's identity to gather information, and if she brings down the drug syndicate, the police may spare her sister's life. As Taema investigates, she uncovers dark secrets from their past. Raised by a cult that banned modern medicine, the twins escaped after needing surgery to separate their shared heart. Taema learns that Tila was shaped by the cult, which is linked to the city's underground. Once unable to keep secrets, the sisters must confront the true cost of lies.
