The Stand-In by Steve Bloom
The inspiration for the Netflix original film, The Perfect Date
When Brooks volunteered to be a stand-in for Burdette's cousin who got stood up for Homecoming, it was with the noblest of intentions--helping a fellow human being, free of charge. But when he gets a tip of more than three hundred bucks, word spreads quickly and Brooks seizes the opportunity to offer his impeccable escort services to super-wealthy parents who want their daughters to experience those big social events of senior year.
Besides, Brooks could use the cash to hire a tutor to get admitted to Columbia University. So what if along the way he goes along with a few minor deceptions and cuts a few moral corners? What could be the harm?
For more than 30 years, Steve Bloom has been writing TV and film screenplays. His debut novel is The Stand-In. He and his wife live in western Massachusetts with their French bulldog.
