Be My Guest
Tim and Claire have found a cutting-edge (and kinky) solution to their money troubles: a controversial mind-transfer service that allows Tim to rent his body out to paying customers - so they can spend some "quality time" with his girlfriend Claire. But as police begin to crack down on the grey-market tech, Tim pushes for one more payday from a repeat customer, despite a firm "no" from Claire. When Tim goes ahead with the transfer behind her back, he learns he's not the only one keeping secrets. Produced with a grant awarded by BravoFACT
