Intrigued by the mysteries of sex and anatomy, the brothers grow from inseparable playmates to world-renowned specialists. Sharing everything from their hi-tech clinic to their women, Elliot and Beverly seem inseparable.

The entrance of Claire (Genevieve Bujold), an actress seeking fertility treatment, changes their relationship forever. Both twins seduce her but shy, sensitive Beverly falls in love and attempts to break free from his charming brother with catastrophic consequences.
