Summary:Identical, based loosely on the myth of Castor and Pollux, is the story of identical twins Paul and Cass Giannis and the complex relationships between their family and their former neighbors, the Kronons.

The plot centers on the reinvestigation of Athena's murder, carried out together by Evon Miller, an ex-FBI agent who is the head of security for ZP, the Kronon family business, and a private investigator, Tim Brodie, eighty-one, a former homicide detective.
