Basic Plot

We open with a shot of Kate West in her bathroom mirror, as she frantically tries to get rid of a rather large pimple on her face. She's clearly distressed. She sighs and gazes out the window, a moving van driving into the distance. She squints at the boxes of furniture gathered outside of her new next door neighbour's house and spies a "Vote green" flag in the clutter. She mutters "...hippies" under her breath and turns away walking out of her bathroom in a foul mood. Her phone chimes and she answers, it's her campaign manager who almost immediately begins firing info at Kate about incoming poll predictions and most importantly her big speech tomorrow. Kate walks down her stairs, which are humbly filled with pictures off her at various events and debates, and paces around her kitchen. Kate declares she can't attend the speech tomorrow because of the GIANT pimple on her face. She doesn't get taken seriously as a politician as it is, let alone if she had a spot the size of Jupiter on her face. They row back and forth until Kate finally agrees and sets to work practicing her speech, ending the phone call. She walks into her garden, glass of wine in hand, and begins to talk aloud her cheesy, fake-charismatic speech. Suddenly, a ball bounces behind her from over the garden hedge, startling her and making her spill her wine. She mutters to herself and half-heartedly throws the ball over the hedge, to the new neighbour's garden. Just as Kate begins to sit down again, heavy metal begins to blast out from the house next door, which annoys Kate so much she storms to her shed to retrieve her stepladder. In a furious rage she props the ladder against the large hedge separating the two gardens and climbs the ladder to finally see who her new, tedious neighbours are. She spots a women, a similar build and hair colour to her own, facing the other way wearing baggy, punk clothing. Kate asks her to please keep the noise down and the women turns around upon hearing her voice. Much to Kate's horror, the other woman has exactly the same face as her own, like a clone. Both women shriek in confusion, horrified at the other person. This prompts an awkward, confused conversation between the two women, with them comically pondering if they may be long-lost twins. Which they are not. Eventually, Kate recalls a fact about the average person having 7 doppelgangers in the world, one of whom must be the other women, Stevie Horn. Kate offers Stevie a glass of wine, which Stevie declines claiming she doesn't drink, prompting Kate to state, "we really mustn't be related then". Eventually the two neighbours say their goodbyes and Kate turns to descend down the ladder but suddenly feels the GIANT pimple on her face again. An idea pops into her head. She quickly turns and calls Stevie back. She asks with a pleading yet hopeful smile, "You don't happen to be any good at giving speeches, do you?".
