Summary:
The stories shift between and ties together stories about pairs joined in surprising ways. A woman learns that she may not be the biological mother of her own son despite having given birth to him; a brother and sister unite, as their mother dies, to search for their long-lost father; two young sisters take a detour home, unaware of the tragedy that awaits; and a political couple - when the husband accedes to power in a post-apocolyptic future state - is shaken by the revelation fo their own shared, if equally unknown, history.
