She begins at the crossroads of Kensington Market: a city park called Bellevue Square. But after two customers insist they've seen her double, Jean decides to investigate.


Jean's a grown woman with a husband and two kids, as well as a thriving bookstore in downtown Toronto, and she doesn't rattle easily-not like she used to. Apparently, her identical twin hangs out in Kensington Market, where she sometimes buys churros and drags an empty shopping cart down the streets, like she's looking for something to put in it. She's never seen her, but others swear they have. Curiosity grows to obsession and soon Jean's concerns shift from the identity of the woman, to her very own.Jean Mason has a doppelganger.
