Imagine a life of limitless opportunity: wealth and luxury, lust and desire, danger and excitement… and all it will cost is letting someone live it for you. Welcome to the hidden world of Proxies–young, ambitious hustlers who have undergone an experimental new medical procedure that allows people the ability to vicariously experience their lives: to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel everything that they do. Selling this access to the rich, these Proxies are willing to give up their privacy, their very identity, trading it all for a taste of money and power. In this seductive world of hedonistic pleasure, Justin Bright, a promising new Proxy with a mysterious past, will learn that all joys have their costs, and the dangerous games people play may have deadly consequences…
