AS GOOD AS DEAD

“The life you lose could be your own!”

Susan moves to LA and befriends party girl Nicole, who suffers from painful stomach ulcers but cannot be treated without insurance. Susan decides to temporarily switch identities with Nicole so that her friend can have an operation. However, when Nicole suddenly dies after the procedure, ending Susan’s legal identity, Susan has to pose as Nicole to regain her life.
