Ton - is married with kids. After losing two jobs in as many years,
he is now a full-time house-husband with the self-confidence of
a mid-leap lemming.
Sean, his twin brother, runs his own business, wears handmade
suits, has reservations at the right restaurants and sleeps with
a succession of beautiful women.
The problem is: they are both miserable.
Sean craves stability and domestic bliss — he actually fantasises about
packed lunches and family days out. Tom, on the other hand, dreams of
a day when his shirt is not dripping with his children's snot - and his
wife (or, frankly, anyone) might find him attractive again.
So, the brothers decide to use the trick of their birth to live each
other's fantasies; to have another man's life for two weeks. The only rule:
keep Tom's wife, Sara, out of it and do the swap when she is away.
But, of course, things are never quite so simple. Sara returns early,
Tom discovers all is not so well with Sean's hugely successful business...
