It's the midst of a pandemic (never specifically referred to as covid-19 or another disease, but "all this," as in "after all this is over") and twins Raquel and Lucinda are at home with their mother, attending online school. Raquel dedicates herself to keeping up publication of the school newspaper and Lucinda worries about not being able to practice for a skating competition while the ice rinks are shut down. Then their mother decides to send them to stay with their dad during the shutdown. They see this as an opportunity to get their parents back together again, but they find that their dad's girlfriend and her daughter are also staying with him. The goal-oriented Raquel is more headstrong and wily in her strategies while Lucinda increasingly becomes more uncomfortable with their plans. ( )
