I'll Be You follows Sam and Elli who were inseparable as children. Beautiful identical twin sisters, they began their Hollywood careers together, oftentimes playing the same role--and sometimes each other. Now adults, they've drifted apart: Sam is a recovering addict and Elli a seemingly devoted homemaker.
But then Elli goes to a spa retreat and stops answering her phone. After Sam's destructive behavior fractured the unwavering trust Sam and Elli always had in each other, Elli hasn't spoken to her in over a year. So when Sam's father calls to say that Elli's husband has moved out and they need help caring for Elli's daughter while she's gone, Sam is shocked. Elli has a daughter?
Now caring for a niece she never knew existed, Sam is on a mission to find out where Elli has disappeared to. Is her new women's self-help group to blame? Could it possibly be a cult? As Sam investigates her sister's secrets, she comes to realize that Elli was more complicated than she ever imagined.
