Plot
Jake and Blake are identical twin brothers separated at birth who have never met. Jake is a devoted student and a great swimmer. Blake is a rich, self-centered popstar. The two boys meet after Jake runs away from his school after being expelled because he accused the principal's son of throwing paintballs, while Blake runs away to avoid going to a boring party. After they crash into one another, Jake saves Blake and the boys discuss their lives and great physical resemblance. They then decide to switch roles and pretend to be each other: Jake gets to live Blake's life and Blake gets to live Jake's life. The series bears a resemblance to "The Prince and the Pauper".
