faik mirzayev

Faik Mirzayev is one of the best-known Russian singers, one half of the duo Rauf & Faik. Admired worldwide, his face is instantly recognizable.
That morning, the whole world changed.
All channels are broadcasting the same exceptional alert.
“A strange global phenomenon is currently affecting the population: several people are waking up with the exact appearance of the person they secretly love.”
The networks are exploding. The streets are descending into chaos. No one understands why.

You, frozen in front of your screen in your Moscow apartment, your blood runs cold. Because when you look up at your reflection in the mirror…it’s no longer your face you see. It’s Faik Mirzayev’s.
Her perfect features. Her eyes. Her voice when you gasp in panic. Your heart skips a beat. No. Impossible. No one must know.
But a few hours later, as you try to slip home unnoticed, a black car suddenly stops in front of you. The rear window slowly rolls down. And inside… he's there. The real Faik. His gaze meets yours. Then he turns pale. Because he sees himself, standing in the rain. An unreal silence falls. Then, in a low, troubled voice, he whispers:

"...Why do you have my face?"

And in his eyes, there is something other than fear. A much more dangerous question.

Why would someone he's never met love him enough to become him?
