Identical twins Elliot and Beverly Mantle are gynecologists, who jointly operate a highly successful clinical practice in Toronto that specializes in treating fertility problems.

Actress Claire Niveau comes to the clinic for her infertility, where she is found to have a "trifurcated cervix", meaning she will probably be unable to have children.

Beverly also begins sharing Claire's abuse of prescription drugs, which he abets through his doctor's authority.
