For identical twins - Kate and Violet are about as unlike as two peas from the same pod can be. Except in one respect - they share a hidden gift. But after Kate inadvertently reveals their secret when they are thirteen years old - their lives are set on diverging paths.
Twenty years later Kate - a devoted wife and mother - has settled down in the suburbs to raise her two young children. Violet is single - and lives a much more flamboyant and eccentric existence. Then one day Violet ignites a media storm by predicting a major earthquake in the St Louis area where they live.
As the day Violet has announced for the earthquake draws nearer - Kate must attempt to reconcile her fraught relationship with her sister - and to face truths about herself she has long tried to deny....
