About
Los Angeles. A would-be movie reviewer, looking for romance, takes an assignment to write a magazine article about celebrity look-alikes. After getting to know a Steve Martin impersonator, the writer decides to undertake his own process of transformation and becomes not Steve Martin but a version of him-graceful, charming, at home in the world. Safe in the guise of "Steve," he begins to fall in love. And, that's when "Steve" takes over. Set in the capital of illusion, this is a story of one man's journey into paradise-and his attempt to come out the other side.
