disfigured woman haunted by nightmares and the knowledge that she'll
never find love. A lesbian high school student who deals with abuse by
cutting herself with a razor blade. A vicious serial killer that has
been leaving a bloody path of faceless victims in his wake.
Taylor
Mackenzie's parents died in a car crash when she was a child. Marked by
facial scarring from the same accident, she had been raised by her
grandmother, a woman who had been so ashamed of her granddaughter's
looks that she had hidden her away from the rest of the world for most
of her life. After finally running away as a teen, Taylor made her way
to San Diego where she now helps run a shelter for runaway girls along
with the only person who had never been disgusted by her scars.
Rachel

Abused by her alcoholic mother and bullied by her classmates, Rachel
comforts herself by dragging a razor blade across her skin. Rachel's
only friend must leave for Chicago sooner than she had expected and
Rachel is on the verge of suicide, knowing that the only person who
didn't think she was a sick freak would soon disappear.
The
Skinner is a serial killer that has been terrorizing the country for
the past year. His victims are young and pretty, their faces taken and
preserved to keep them that way. He is obsessed with the ideas of
innocence and purity and believes his victims should thank him for being
chosen.
When
Taylor's grandmother dies and she has to return home, it sets off a
series of events that will entwine the two women together more than
either of them had ever imagined. Bonding over their scars, they both
begin to believe that maybe, just maybe, they've finally found the
happiness they've been searching for.
