Biochemist Emily dies under her husband Hod's blade after refusing to alter his appearance into that of Julian, a celebrated pop idol. Granted a second chance at life just days prior to her murder, Emily stops pleading with her ambitious spouse and quietly hands him the experimental cosmetic serum along with binding consent waivers.
Hod steals Julian’s identity and prepares for an extravagant high-society ceremony, blissfully unaware that the genetic compound degrades rapidly without weekly stabilizer treatments. When Emily crashes the altar with cold forensic proof, Hod’s stolen features deform on live television, unleashing a manic struggle over hostages, research patents, and federal agents.
