Sara Louise Bradshaw is sick and tired of her beautiful twin Caroline. Ever since they were born, Caroline has been the pretty one, the talented one, the better sister. Even now, Caroline seems to take everything: Louise's friends, their parents' love, her dreams for the future. 

For once in her life, Louise wants to be the special one. But in order to do that, she must first figure out who she is . . . and find a way to make a place for herself outside her sister's shadow.

路易斯和卡罗琳是一对孪生姐妹，卡罗琳聪明美丽，才华横溢，她的歌声优美动听，吸引着所有人的目光。路易斯却不像妹妹那样优秀，一方面她厌恶嫉妒卡罗琳，另一方面她渴望和卡罗琳一样得到家庭的关注。路易斯决定摆脱妹妹的阴影。而走出阴影就要认同自我，接受自己，接受现实。路易斯的自我认同与对现实的接受和认同相互交织，路易斯一边无力地看着属于自己的一切被妹妹不费吹灰之力占有，一边劝说自己接受现实，尽管接受的过程饱含成长的阵痛，但同时也渐渐地勾画出自己的人生轨迹，直到最后完成自我认同。
