In this excerpt, a man named Stephen, who had a less-than-ideal experience in high school, decides to attend his 10-year reunion with a look-alike to make a positive impression. He creates an app that connects him with a look-alike, Steven, who is hired to attend the reunion in his place. The look-alike is given a makeover to resemble Stephen, including a shaved head, brown contact lenses, and a tattoo. The look-alike, Steven, is also prepared with information about Stephen's post-high school life, including details about his music career.
At the reunion, the look-alike, Steven, interacts with Stephen's former classmates, who are surprised by his appearance and his new persona. Some of them even express interest in him. At one point, a girl who had a crush on Stephen at school recognizes Steven and attempts to hit on him, causing some tension.
In the end, the look-alike, Steven, successfully makes a positive impression at the reunion. Stephen learns from this experience that he undervalued his friendships from high school and that people still have memories of him. He also realizes that the look-alike, Steven, was able to do something he never could at high school - ask his crush out.
