To escape her exhausting and anxious life, a frazzled working mom manifests two wildly different alter egos—one a fearless, sexy career woman, the other a carefree nurturing earth mother. But when her real and imagined lives collide and compete with each other, they threaten her career and family.

Elizabeth Hyde is barely hanging on—her marriage is in a rut, her job is thankless, and her 5-year-old daughter won't speak at school. On a particularly humiliating day, she collapses after taking supposedly anxiety pills in the bathroom of a commuter train, only to emerge… different. Confident. Stylish. Commanding. Meet Beth. Later, she transforms again—into Liz, warm, earthy, uninhibited. With each pill she takes (unknowingly placebos), she shifts between the two personas and lives out two different versions of herself.
What begins as comic chaos turns into a profound emotional reckoning as Elizabeth juggles careers, identities, motherhood, and marriage. But she can’t outrun herself forever. When her real and imagined lives collide, Elizabeth must finally face the truth: she doesn’t need to become someone else—she just needs to become whole.
