The Legend of the Ditto Twins

Since they have touched each other for the first time, eric and derrick know they are different. Know they are special. Know they will be bound together as long as they live. Most of all, the twin brothers know that no one else must ever discover the secret games they play in bed each night-until puberty hits and eric and derrick begin to understand that they are destined to become legendary. Follow two young men on their journey from a modest dairy farm in America's heartland to the glamorous world of Berlin's physique models, from the wonderland of Prague's adult film industry to the fast lane of New York's glittering club life... and ultimately, all the way to the Supreme Court of the united States.
