Tout réussit à l'arrogant Gregory : argent, amours, prestige. Pour son frère adoptif, le pleutre Terence, la vie n'est qu'une longue suite de fiascos et de lamentations : hantise du chômage, frustration sexuelle, souvenir traumatique d'une tuerie familiale... Mais dans l'appartement londonien où ils se disputent la même femme, comédie et tragédie ne demandent qu'à permuter. Tous deux racontent tour à tour leur histoire. Leurs destins s'inversent et leur récit est truffé de contradictions : qui est vraiment Gregory, un homme à succès ou un pauvre type ? Et Terry, qui en fin de compte connaît la réussite, n'est-il pas en fait aussi odieux que lui ?
