The story of Jacob, a man whose life is stolen when he is inexplicably recast by a shadowy agency. When the actor who takes his place rekindles a long lost love, Jacob will do whatever it takes to fight for the role of his life.

Synopsis

Jacob is a dreamer whose life has slowly faded into a nightmare. He’s overworked, underappreciated, henpecked by his parents, and paralyzed by memories of a lost love. He could take control of his life and turn things around … but he hasn’t.

Then, one day, Jacob discovers he has been recast by a mysterious agency known as The Forge. Now, a new, younger, more dynamic actor will be playing the part of “Jake”, leaving Jacob to start a new life from scratch. With help from an electro-shock anklet, Jacob begins his new life as Vaibar “V.J.” Nastanavitsky, and discovers that he likes being free of his past.

Meanwhile, “Jake” takes over his new role with aplomb, charming everyone in Jacob’s life as they accept this improved Jacob without question. But when Jake decides to reunite with Jacob’s lost love Violet, Jacob realizes there’s no life he’d rather have than his old one. And there’s only one way he sees to get back the part of his life: acting lessons.

With Jake unwilling to give up his dream part, the fight between Jake and Jacob for the role of a lifetime won’t end without blood being spilled …
