Germans de sang

In a Liverpool pared back to a bleak wasteland of shipping containers, Mrs Johnstone, a struggling mother who cleans for the wealthy Mrs Lyons, agrees to give one of her unborn twins to her childless employer. Raised on opposite sides of the class divide, Mickey and Eddie meet, become friends and fall for the same girl, Linda, unaware of the truth, while Mrs Lyons's warning that separated twins will die if they learn of it hangs over them.
