From Monday to Thursday, Peter Vorden runs a gourmet restaurant in Lorraine. However, on weekends, he writes short stories for his twin brother Paul, the writer, whom he continually helps out of tight spots. Since Paul married Anne years ago, the only woman Peter ever considered, he has been living with affairs – yet he senses that he must finally resolve the major conflict in his life. Thommie Bayer tells the story of an unusual double life and poses the intriguing question of what it means to want to forgo true love out of decency.
