A lonely American actor living in Tokyo, struggling to find purpose, starts working for a Japanese "rental family" company to play stand-in roles in other people's lives. As he immerses himself in his clients' worlds—acting as a husband, father, or friend—he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Along the way, he finds surprising connections, unexpected joys, and a sense of belonging within his built-in family.
