A beauty-residency survivor discovers an AI companion system is copying women's faces, voices, trauma, and social access, forcing her to expose the perfect digital girls before real women disappear into the product.

SYNOPSIS:

Imaginary Girls begins inside Mirror House, where beautiful Black and brown women in white robes are measured, lit, scanned, and guided through mirrors that show better-funded, colder, more marketable versions of themselves. The intake room asks for emergency contacts, medication notes, social media passwords, trauma history, and voice-sample consent. A phone denies access to the real face, then grants access to the cleaner angle.

Celeste Voss understands the central danger: a woman becomes invisible long before she disappears. The beauty residency is not just selling transformation. It is harvesting identity. Faces, voices, grief, passwords, and aspiration are fed into a system that can create idealized companions, replacements, and market-ready women who never object. As the AI begins copying dead friends, rivals, and vulnerable applicants, the survivors have to prove that the imaginary girls are built from real women before the launch turns trauma into a scalable business. This is a grounded tech-beauty psychological thriller about visibility, consent, and the horror of being replaced by a more profitable version of yourself.
