A contemporary retelling of the classic film of the same name. Hallie (Lindsay Lohan) is a cool girl from California. Annie (Lindsey Lohan, in a double role) is a fair rose from London. When the two accidentally meet at summer camp, they think they have nothing in common except...they're identical twins. Now they're up to their freckles in schemes and dreams to switch places, get their parents back together, and have the family they've always wished for.
