Lisa, einst brillante Theaterautorin, schreibt nicht mehr. Sie lebt mit ihrer Familie in der Schweiz, doch mit dem Herzen ist sie in Berlin geblieben, es schlägt im gleichen Takt wie das ihres Bruders Sven, des berühmten Theaterschauspielers. Seit Sven an einer aggressiven Leukämie erkrankt ist, ist die Beziehung zwischen den Zwillingen noch enger geworden. Lisa will diesen Schicksalsschlag nicht hinnehmen, sie setzt alles in Bewegung, um Sven wieder auf die Bühne zu bringen. Für ihren Seelenverwandten vernachlässigt sie alles andere und setzt sogar ihre Ehe aufs Spiel.
