Plot:
In middle age, fraternal twin brothers Peter and Kyle Reynolds could not be more different. Divorced Peter is uptight by nature. He realizes that he is unhappy with his life: he hasn't been with anyone since his divorce three years ago--from his college sweetheart and the only woman he had even been with, Katherine; he and his teenage son Ethan have never gotten along; he doesn't really like being a proctologist and had only become one to honor the supposed father who had died of colon cancer before he and Kyle were born. Ex-surfer Kyle is a free spirit living in Hawai'i, off the lucrative royalties from his image being used for a commercial Hawaiian barbecue sauce in the latest item in what seems to be his charmed life. He has never been married and is currently in a serious relationship with equally free spirit Kaylani. At the wedding of their mother Helen--her first since their father's passing, Peter and Kyle discover by chance that the stories Helen had told them about their father for all these years were all lies: she doesn't actually know who their father is. Peter is arguably more devastated by this news as it was on what he based his life. With what little Helen tells them, Peter and Kyle go on a quest to find their father: a journey of discovery about the list of "candidates", but also about their mother, their twin relationship, and themselves.
