"You're your own man," Jake Barnes tells himself upon arrival at his father's isolated cabin in the woods of Oregon. "You are yourself." But in the strange world of One of These Things Is Not Like the Other, manhood and self are not to be so easily understood. Or trusted.

Quadruplet brothers. Raised in rural seclusion by their identical, namesake father. Now in their twenties, the Jake Barnes brothers are shocked by their father's sudden suicide during one boy's visit. More surprises come in the video he leaves behind, announcing that one of them is an unrelated outsider, and daring his sons to uncover the truth of their birth. From across the U.S. the brothers converge to find a woman who may be their mother, but twisted lust, murderous secrets, and shifting identities threaten their lives along the way.

Set in a dream-soaked reality one step removed from our own, One of These Things Is Not Like the Other is a darkly comic tale of masculine identity and relationships. What is the true nature of a man, father, brother, son, lover? Some men die searching for such truth. Some men kill to keep it hidden. Some come to wish they had never learned it. But as the four identical brothers seek out answers to who they are and where they come from, they find the truth to be as elusive as fog on the Oregon coast or as treacherous as sand in a Texas dust storm.

Suicide, homicide, fratricide, incest—it's a love story. And a page turner. With very dark humor. Hell, it's better than Cirque de Soleil. David Lynch meets Neil Bartlett? A Tennessee Williams-penned Twilight Zone episode with a Magnetic Fields soundtrack? Clive Barker meets Brazil meets Fight Club? David Cronenberg directs a queer Ordinary People?
