Middle-aged banker Arthur Hamilton is given the opportunity to start a completely new life when he receives calls from his old friend Charlie. The only problem is that Charlie is supposedly dead. Hamilton is eventually introduced to a firm that will fake his death and create an entirely new look and life for him. After undergoing physical reconstruction surgery and months of training and psychotherapy, Hamilton returns to the world as artist Tony Wilson. He has a nice house in Malibu and a manservant who assists him with his adjustments.
He finds that the life he had hoped for isn't quite what he expected, and asks the company to go through the process with surprising results.
