Fifteen-year-old Alison Shaw may not be beautiful, but she doesnât really care: Sheâd much rather read a good book than primp in front of a mirror anyway. But Alisonâs gorgeous mother, Risa, knows that beauty can be a key to success and wishes only the best for her daughter, especially when Risa marries a widowed plastic surgeon and moves Alison from Santa Monica to Bel Air. Beauty may be only skin deep, but to the denizens of Bel Air it means the world. Everywhere mother and daughter look, they are surrounded by beautiful people, many of whom have benefited from the skills of Alisonâs new stepfather, the charismatic Peter Dunn. Peter is certain he can turn Alison into a vision of loveliness, and Risaâdrawn in by his cool confidenceâis delighted. Reluctantly, Alison agrees to undergo the first procedure, and her transformation begins.
But soon Alison discovers a picture of Peterâs first wife. To Alisonâs horror, she notices a resemblance between the image in the photo and the work her stepfather is doing on her. Though Risa refuses to acknowledge the strange similarity, Alison becomes increasingly frightened. Digging further into her stepfatherâs murky past, Alison uncovers dark secretsâand even darker motivesâand realizes that her worst fears are fast becoming her reality.
