In the peaceful California town of Palmdale, an attractive blonde named Miranda, desperate to support her mentally disabled twin brother, Mickey, falls in love with a "bad boy" named Don. Don also happens to be a twin, but one whose feelings toward his sibling, Mac, are the opposite of those Miranda holds for her twin. In fact, Don wishes Mac dead. While in prison, Don makes an intriguing discovery and hatches an elaborate plot that could solve both his girlfriend's financial plight and his own need for murderous revenge. Since Don's behind bars, it's up to Miranda to spearhead the con and also to enlist look-alike Mac through her powers of seduction. She's a quick study, with very cooperative partners-too cooperative, and soon she's locked in a high-stakes love triangle that can only end with a deadly choice. The trio continues to perpetrate a series of crimes the likes of which Palmdale has never before experienced. But an unlikely adversary steps in to stop their mayhem. On the other side of town, living with his struggling mother in a run-down house, a young teenage boy nicknamed "Stump" is quickly learning harsh truths about the adult world in his daily fight for survival and dignity. When Stump and the Three Deadly Twins cross paths, his innocence dies ... and a detective is born.
