Jess (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Ryan (Michael Landes) seem to have a perfect life, marred only by the presence of Ryan's thuggish brother, Roman (Lee Pace). After the two brothers are involved in a terrible car crash, Roman awakes from his coma first and claims to be Ryan. Though she is skeptical at first, Jess begins to believe that her husband really is trapped in his brother's body.

Dully predictable. Go to Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 07/24/2020

Nothing ever stands out as the plot and characters are predictable and generic. While never aggressively bad, it just is not worth the time. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com 03/04/2010
