Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as Bridget Kelly, a recovering drug addict and ex-stripper living in Wyoming, on the run from the mob after witnessing a murder. She takes refuge with her estranged twin sister Siobhan Martin (also Gellar), a wealthy socialite living in New York, who seems keen to re-connect with her sibling. But when Siobhan mysteriously disappears on a boat outing, Bridget sees a way out of her desperate situation by assuming her sister's identity, which includes a strained marriage with her husband Andrew (Ioan Gruffudd) and his daughter Juliet (Zoey Deutch), as well as renovating a new loft with her best friend Gemma Butler (Tara Summers), and a secret affair/love child with Gemma's husband Henry (Kristoffer Polaha). While her FBI ex-handler Victor Machado (Nestor Carbonell) attempts to track her down, Bridget's only confidant to her problems is Malcolm (Mike Colter), her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor. Bridget thinks her old troubles are behind her, but she discovers that her seemingly perfect sister has some dark and dangerous secrets of her own.
