Premise
The series centers on brothers Brady and Boomer (Mitchel Musso and Doc Shaw), a pair of 16-year-old fraternal twins raised by their aunt and uncle in Chicago and live a normal existence. However, when Mason, the royal adviser to the throne of the island of Kinkow, arrives at their high school, they learn that they are the heirs to the king's throne of the island, and after Mason tells Brady and Boomer of their lineage, they begin to realize that their lives are about to change dramatically.

After making the discovery, the brothers relocate to Kinkou, an American island to assume their roles as the joint kings of the island nation, which has many odd customs and superstitions – while trying not to cause problems. Boomer and Brady's efforts are often aided by Mikayla, Mason's teenage daughter and hindered by Lanny, a disgruntled cousin, who's out to sabotage the boys and take the throne for himself. They are also teamed up by Richard, an orphan king who helps Boomer and Brady.

Skin Pigmentation in Twins
Although it is unusual, it is not unheard of to have twins with different skin colors. Twins who have different pigmentation must be dizygotic, or fraternal twins, meaning that they came from two separate eggs. They can arise from either the same two parents, with the sperm from the same father impregnating both eggs, or from the same mother and two fathers impregnating an egg each. The odds of a birth of twins with different skin pigmentation both parented by the same father are 1,000,000:1.
