Rose (Laura Vandervoort) es una mujer tranquila y modesta que sueña con ser diseñadora de moda. Un día sufre un accidente que la deja prácticamente irreconocible, por lo que sus sueños se van al traste de la noche a la mañana. Desesperada por recobrar su aspecto, acepta someterse a un tratamiento experimental con células madre que no sólo recompone su piel, sino que la convierte en una mujer de una tremenda belleza. Sin embargo, cuando atraviesa su mejor momento en la vida tras la operación y piensa estar en la cresta de la ola, las cosas comienzan a torcerse. Pronto aprenderá que todo en la vida tiene un precio... Remake de "Rabid", dirigida originalmente por el aclamado David Cronenberg en 1977.
Imagine leaving everything you have, everyone you know, everyone you love, behind. Having to cross half a continent on foot, atop freight trains, inside truck trailers. Swimming across wild rivers. Crossing borders illegally. Walking across the Arizona desert. Being shot at, robbed and beaten. Raped. Surviving it all. Crossing into the USA, after life in the poorest parts of Central America. Succeeding. Now. In the “promised” land, you don’t belong, legally; or socially. You don’t understand the language. No one knows you arrived, no one knows you exist. Imagine…. being Nobody. Then imagine a bag being shoved over your head. Getting your clothes stripped from you. Getting tossed in a closed room with a dozen others. A loaded gun is pointed at your head. You are forced to call back home and beg for money, a ransom for your life.
