When Iranian immigrant siblings living in the American Southwest take in a mysterious being who arrived to Earth in the shape of a young woman, Imitation forms an understanding of the strange species around her. As she learns more about her new body and her companions, she comes to appreciate the beauty and the sadness of her new world. At the same time, Julianna, Imitation’s world-weary earthly double, knows both glitz and grit working as an entertainer in New York City, where her fraying life and relationships now threaten her dreams for an audition that might finally set her on a happier path.
