The Uncanny Valley

About this ebook
Buck Trapp was an up-and-coming actor in the 1950s who was murdered at the height of his career, caught in the act of adultery. His claim to fame was starring in the classic detective movie, “The Uncanny Valley.” Half a century later, a studio decides to make a sequel to Buck’s legendary film, using digital animation to superimpose Trapp’s face over another actor’s - Newman Self. He will become Buck Trapp and find himself facing some of the same temptations that eventually led to Trapp’s untimely death. In the process of preparing for the role, he also discovers the life that Buck strayed from in the rush to fame. Retracing the star’s steps, he learns he too could gain the whole world, and lose his soul.
