The novel is a literary thriller centered around Jean Mason, who owns a bookstore in Toronto and becomes convinced that she has a doppelganger. The story explores themes of identity, paranoia, mental health, and the nature of reality.

Jean is drawn into a search for her double after encountering multiple people who claim to have seen someone who looks exactly like her hanging around Bellevue Square, a park in Toronto. Her obsession with finding this doppelganger intensifies, leading her on a journey through the city's underbelly and into increasingly dangerous situations.
