A doctor assumes his twin's identity, deceiving two wives until his own spouse discovers the fraud.

Ethan and Owen practice medicine overseas until Owen dies suddenly. Ethan returns alone and secretly takes his brother's place, moving into Owen's home and sleeping with Claire, who believes her husband has survived.

The arrangement collapses when Ethan's own wife Willa uncovers the deception. Already pregnant, she conceals the child and leaves him. Months later, word that Willa plans to marry someone else drives Ethan to abandon the charade and pursue her with the truth.
