Joachim von Hartmann was born and raised in Buenos Aires, inseparable from his identical twin. But when Joachim moves to Paris, his brother stays behind and enters a dark world. Meanwhile, Joachim begins training to be a butler, fascinated by the job's precision and intense demands, and goes on to work in some of the grandest homes in England. Then Joachim takes a job working for Olivia - a woman who needs help setting up home in a charming Parisian apartment. He enjoys the prospect of a different life for a few weeks, which turn to months as they learn they enjoy working side by side. At the same time, Joachim discovers the family history he never knew: a grandfather guilty of war crimes who died in prison, the wealthy father who abandoned him, and the dangerous criminal his twin has become. As Olivia's life comes together, Joachim's falls apart, while they strive to discover the truth each other and themselves. Their paths no longer sure, they are a man and a woman who reach a place where the past doesn't matter and only what they are living now is true.
