After regaining control of his mental health, Damien is eager to reconnect with Liana, his girlfriend of three years, minus a two-month break. But just as he's ready to make his triumphant return, something stops him. Something not quite human. A faceless, humanoid creature with the ability to mimic the appearance of humans attacks Damien. After replicating his skin and absorbing his memories, the Mimic decides to hijack Damien's plans as well; impersonating a young man navigating the emotional minefield of romantic reconciliation sounds far too entertaining to pass up. The Mimic arrives at Liana's door. She's prepared to decide whether this "new and improved" Damien deserves a second chance-though she's surprised by how oddly performative he seems. When the conversation takes an unexpected turn, the two begin arguing over the flaws of human nature. The tension triggers something in the mimic, breaking its grip on the disguise. Once Liana comes face-to-face with the creature beneath the facade, she must stop what she thought was her renewed boyfriend from continuing its vicious cycle.
