Screenplay
Olivia "Liv" Grey is a nerdy senior high school girl aiming to be a valedictorian, while her twin brother Matthew "Matt" Grey is the student council president and the heart of the party. The twins have been inseparable since birth, even having made a vow when they were young that they would die at the same moment, just as they had been born together. However, when Olivia gets caught making out with her crush, Julian, Matt disapproves, telling his sister that this would lower her grades and therefore tarnish their perfect family reputation and spoil their parents' unreasonably high hopes. They go on arguing as Matt drives home, but the row distracts him and the car crashes, injuring Olivia and killing Matt. Irrevocably shaken by the loss of her sibling, Olivia starts seeing visions of Matt everywhere. This "Matt" appears to be just like her brother had been at first, but then he stops Olivia from eating and seeing Julian, only allowing her to study. Realizing too late that this is hardly her twin but instead a twisted replica, Olivia fights to keep up appearances and to escape from the ghost of her past.
