Despite being identical twins, Adam and Neil Pearson look completely different. By conventional genetics, that should be impossible. But they share the faulty NF-1 gene, which for Adam caused uncontrolled tumors to grow on his face. For Neil, the gene caused short-term memory loss. In this powerful and personal film Adam and Neil find out why their condition has affected them in such different ways. It’s a journey that takes them back to the moment they separated in the womb, their experiences during childhood, through to their diets, in the search for the trigger that made them so different.
