In this chilling award-winning horror film, Dr. Albert, a dedicated family doctor, has spent the past two decades on a desperate quest to heal his son Marvin's severely burned visage. To effectively execute the skin grafts necessary for Marvin's recovery, he must first locate "subjects" on whom to practice. Unbeknownst to many, the town's seemingly upstanding sheriff, Garrett, has been covertly supplying Dr. Albert with drug addicts for his harrowing experiments.
