Liz is a budding actress waiting for her big debut when she is approached by Naomi Baum, the bestselling author and recluse, who asks Liz to impersonate her on the Ted Hillman Show. Also appearing on the program is Miro Bogdan, Naomi’s abandoned son, and Naomi is desperate to make any contact with him she can. But when Ted Hillman falls in love with the stand-in Naomi and Miro plots her murder, it becomes unclear whether Liz still considers this a performance—or if she's living life as Naomi.
