Chinese scholarship student Wei travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends. Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her deceased scientist father's research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. After a violent clash ends in Angela's death, Wei's experiments take a dark turn. Desperate, she discovers she can 'become' Angela by grafting her face onto her own. As Angela, Wei transforms into a stunning beauty, gaining instant popularity and desire. Intoxicated by her new status, Wei's attempts to maintain the façade grow increasingly deadly. Her newfound beauty and acceptance come at a high cost, as she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret.
