In an alternate modern-day Hollywood where genetically-engineered "fictionals" play film roles, a screenwriter struggling with his own self-identity takes on an opportunity to create a new flesh-and-blood character.
Whats it like, not being real?
In LA, where todays star is tomorrows busboy, discarded Fictionalscharacters spun into flesh-and-blood by technologyare everywhere. Screenwriter Niles Golans therapist is a Fictional. So is his best friend. So (maybe) is the woman in the bar he cant stop staring at. Its getting so you cant tell whos real and whos not.
Niles isnt completely sure how real he is
