Ricky is clever, there's no doubting that, but he's lazy and selfish, always looking for the easy way to the big score. Instead of making his parents proud, he throws in his medical degree and takes up grifting, along with his good friend Dunk. Dunk isn't the sharpest tool in the box, but he's got a heart of gold. After a stint in Wormwood Scrubs, Ricky decides he needs to do something more with his life, and moves to London with this in mind. A chance encounter with his doppelganger gives him a brilliant, terrible idea; why not become someone else? The life of a top-class psychiatrist seems like winning to Ricky. Manoeuvring himself into place looks like the hard part, but once he manages to obtain his new life, Ricky finds that somehow he remains unsatisfied, and that maintaining his new persona might be more difficult than getting there in the first place. Who could have known that being someone else would teach him so much about himself?
