Storyline
Maisie's life is uneventful. She works at a clothing store, spends too much time on her phone, and hangs out with her boyfriend when their schedules line up. But despite everything appearing normal, Maisie can't shake the feeling that something is wrong. Her lipstick feels different, she can't get an unidentifiable pop song out of her head, and she can't be as affectionate as before. Eventually convinced that someone has replaced her cat with a doppelganger, Maisie hires a private investigator to confirm if her suspicions are true. As Maisie pulls back the curtain, she discovers her relationship and reality have been rendered even more artificial than she feared.
