Harold Price, a 55-year-old HR manager who always played by the rules, prided himself on running a fair and orderly workplace. So when Chloe, a 22-year-old intern, came to him with complaints about her boss’s misconduct, he decided to visit her department for a day to investigate.
To his surprise, everything appeared normal. No one stepped out of line. The team was polite, efficient — even charming. Harold left with nothing concrete to report.
But Chloe grew more and more frustrated. Her boss’s behavior continued, and she felt powerless to prove it. That’s when Harold turned to a drastic new option — an experimental HR initiative that used empathy-based body transfer technology to detect workplace toxicity firsthand.
After some persuasion — and a lot of hesitation — Chloe agreed. If this was the only way to expose her boss, she was willing to let Harold experience her reality.
At 9 a.m. sharp, they met in Harold’s office. Moments later, the machine activated, and they switched bodies.
Harold, now in Chloe’s young frame, immediately felt awkward and unsteady in her high heels. He looked down at his smaller hands, brushed his long hair back, and sighed. He hadn’t had hair like this since the ’90s.
When he walked into Chloe’s office, he instantly felt eyes on him — lingering stares from several male coworkers. During a meeting, three of them made crude, joking remarks that left him stunned. But the worst came from Chloe’s boss, Chad Matthews, the very man she’d complained about.
A few hours later, Chad called “Chloe” into his office, asking her to fix his printer. As Harold bent down to check the cables, Chad deliberately leaned close, his body brushing against Harold’s face. The older man froze — and in that moment, he finally understood what Chloe had been living through.
He looked up and Chad who smiled down at him this was so inappropriate but then Harold’s mind was destructed by a a strange feeling….
When Harold Price, a rigid 55-year-old HR manager known for his rule-book mentality, is forced to go undercover in the body of Chloe, a 22-year-old intern, he’s determined to expose misconduct in the company’s youthful marketing division. But as Harold lives Chloe’s daily life — enduring unwanted attention, microaggressions, and the pressure to stay “perfect” — he begins to see how broken the system really is.
Now, torn between his old identity and a new empathy for the people he once dismissed, Harold must decide whether to fix the company… or blow the whistle on everything it stands for.
