She was just another eager student trying to find the American Dream - trying to reach the ideas of happiness and success by working hard, impressing her professors, and becoming a surgeon.

She was almost there.

But can you imagine what happened to the beautiful brunette who dropped out of med school?

I doubt it.

Anxious to follow in the footsteps of her highly-regarded professor, while accepting the role of starving student, the ambitious Mary Mason has everything in her to be a surgeon. She's intelligent and dedicated and focused to the point of obsession. She will perform her way through American Mary, and into the shockingly dark world she so desires for herself.

This character-driven feature introduces the word "clinical" to us in the simplest of terms.

The definition of the word changes, however, as we watch in stylized horror as the world Mary believed in goes from dark to darker.

We see it as analytic in the way Mary proceeds by example of her ideal surgeon and mentor, Dr. Grant.

We watch it evolve into the detached and messy world of underground cosmetic surgeries first brought about to her in the form of five thousand cold hard cash.

When the reality she believed to be her American Dream is traumatically twisted by those she looked up to, Mary twists herself further into a world that is entirely new yet exactly her forte. In a world where money and success seem to be far in the distance yet hand-in-hand, Mary finds an ally in Billy Barker, a strip-joint owner who hands her the former and leads her to discover the latter. But in a world as numb and harsh as the underground, Mary quickly becomes Doctor Mason, a med. school drop-out performing at-home-surgery... for her life.

The carefully constructed cast includes identical twin writers and directors, Jen and Sylvia Soska; the Twisted Twins, first stepping into the independent horror scene with their 2009 feature film, 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk.'

Mary Mason, played by Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps) rules the leading role in this horror while enduring the transformation of scholarly student to serial slasher.

Billy Barker, the emotionless yet charming owner of the Bourbon A Go-Go gentleman's club, is played by Antonio Cupo (Dark Angel).

While Mary's obsession to pursue the ultimate American Dream grows darker, Billy's obsession with his newest girl at the club grows fonder. Instead, now Mary is the one becoming detached. Instead, now Billy is the one becoming emotional.

Mary soon discovers that you can't get emotional while you're cutting into somebody, and in the words of her mentor, 'don't fuck up,' may mean don't mistake the allure of money and success as the ultimate American Dream.
