Bailey is a young, aspiring actress that has never had a real acting job besides a role in a high school play.
But when she sees an ad for a production that takes place in 1954, she decides to take a chance.
The only thing she knows is that it is fully immersive, and would require her to live in the fictional town for one full year. The rules are simple, stay in character and she gets a nice payout of more than one hundred thousand dollars. But would a black woman willingly live in the 50s?
