Famous plastic surgeon Derek Hollinger has it all: money, success, luxury cars, and an L.A. penthouse near the beach. Who cares if he has no friends or lovers? He doesn't need anyone.

But Derek's seemingly perfect life is shattered after a chance encounter with a mysterious old woman. When he wakes up covered in tattoos, the shadow of his traumatic past-one he can no longer outrun-looms large.

Aided in his desperate quest for the truth by the young nurse he once scorned, Derek's only hope for redemption lies within his own damaged psyche. What do the tattoos mean? Are they part of God's plan for him, a test of his lapsed faith...or a curse brought on by his own arrogance?

And can he get rid of them before he loses everything?
