In "The Stand-In" by Steve Bloom, the story follows a talented but struggling actor, who is given a remarkable opportunity to impersonate a world-famous movie star. As he steps into the limelight, he grapples with the allure of fame and the challenges of living a life in someone else's shadow. The narrative unfolds as he navigates the complexities of identity, ambition, and the cost of success.
