Here is the official synopsis for “Echoes”: 

“‘Echoes’ is a mystery thriller about two identical twins, Leni and Gina, who share a dangerous secret: Since they were children, they have secretly swapped lives, culminating in a double life as adults. They share two homes, two husbands, and a child, but everything in their perfectly choreographed world is thrown into disarray when one of the sisters goes missing. Though identical, each sister is unique. Leni is the sister that is content to stay home, marry her childhood sweetheart, raise her daughter and help run the beautiful horse farm where everyone lives together rooted in their long shared history. Meanwhile, Gina is the rebellious sister who turned her back on all that and escaped to Los Angeles where she rose to quick fame writing about a darker undertow that informed her Southern childhood.”

The project’s tone sounds pretty dark and could end up being more in the realm of Monaghan’s acclaimed HBO series “True Detective.” It’s unclear when they hope to begin shooting “Echoes” or who will play the two husbands.
