What would you endure to fulfill your dreams? What would you do to have the perfect body?
For Dr. Roya Delshad, the answers are anything and everything. A sought-after Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Roya is also the highest example of her craft. She’s had every inch of her own body sculpted, one procedure at a time. All to escape a painful and lonely past.
But when Roya gives the gift of beauty to those who can’t afford the cost, the media labels her the Robin Hood of Roxbury Drive, and she soon finds herself pleading her case from inside a prison cell.
Hoping to resurrect her reputation and obscure a trail of unhappy clients, Roya tells her story with the help of journalist and failed screenwriter Wes Easton, who agrees to ghostwrite her memoir. In a twistingly tense pas de deux, Wes struggles to tell fact from fiction, and Roya seeks to explode his notions about aspiration and desire, sending their collaboration off the rails.
