Synopsis

However Long the Day is the tale of two strangers—Niall Donovan, a poor immigrant from Ireland, and Frederick Philips, a rich ne'er-do-well from New York's Upper East Side—who discover they look so similar they could be twins.

As Niall and Frederick hurtle through the next twenty-four hours, will either get what they bargained for?
