For years, following an early first marriage, Daisy Andalusia
remained single and enjoyed the company of men on her own terms,
making the most of her independent life. Now in her fifties, she
has remarried and settled into a quieter life in New Haven,
Connecticut. She's committed to a job she loves: organizing the
clutter of other people's lives. Her business soon leads her to a
Yale project studying murders in small cities. While her husband,
an inner-city landlord, objects to her new interest, Daisy finds
herself being drawn more and more into the project and closer to
its director, Gordon Skeetling.
When Daisy discovers an old tabloid article with the headline
"Two-Headed Woman Weds Two Men: Doc Says She's Twins," she offers
it as the subject for her theater group's improvisational play.
Over eight transformative months, this headline will take on an
increasing significance as Daisy questions whether she can truly be
a part of anything -- a two-headed woman, a friendship, a marriage
-- while discovering more about herself than she wants to know.
