In a world where human 'proxies' can be rented to play anyone, a service built on fantasy blurs the lines between clients and the people who escape into these roles.

"Proxies" can be rented to anyone. They can be anyone. It's the ideal service for someone who wants to live their fantasy and an ideal job for someone who wants to escape their reality.
