Christopher Carlos and Zak Marcello are cousins but they're most like brothers than anything else. When they were both young their parents had told them they were inseparable if they were far apart they could tell if one of them was hurt or upset and that was 20 years ago.
Christopher and Zak were born on the day, in the same hospital, in the room next to each other but Christopher was born 2 minutes before Zak.
26 year old Christopher lives in LA, America with his father and his son Nathaniel. Cousin Zak (also 26 year old) lives in Italy with his mother and little sister Grace.
