A plastic surgeon's search for perfection takes a horrific turn.
Hendrik is 10 years old when his father leaves. His mother blames herself and her (in her eyes) hideous body for the father's straying. She becomes so obsessed with being perfect that eventually she turns the knife on herself. She bleeds out in the bath tub right in front of little Hendrik.
25 years later Hendrik is in prison recounting how he killed and mutilated dozens of women to feeds his addiction to perfection.
