If you could be someone else, who would you choose? Twenty-somethings Trent, Shanti and Gavin launch a start-up that allows almost anyone to rent a stranger's life for a week.

Not their apartment. Not their car. Their entire life.

The trio risk everything they own to build what they believe will become the Airbnb of lifestyles, but nothing prepares them for the ride that follows as they chase fame, hunt funding, get deported, change lives and accidentally provoke a civil uprising.

When their start-up explodes in popularity, the founders finally get their first taste of success, just as they begin to lose control of their lives. They soon discover people are rarely who they say they are - even themselves.
