The 29 Steps

by David Guaspari

Earnest young Velma Oklahoma would love to be the new Claudette Camembert, or for that matter the old Claudette. She engages Twenty Nine Steps, a service offering "personal transformation" -- a questionable company whose research campus is located in Tijuana. Their slogan: “We know the New You. Do you?” But the New You may not be what you bargain for.
