"...'Mary Mason' is a medical student on her way to becoming a surgeon. Struggling to pay her bills, she applies for work at a strip club.
"Before her interview concludes, she is taken to an underground room by the club's owner, 'Billy Barker', and presented with a man whose life she can save for $5000, which she does, then returns home in panic and disgust.
"Several days later she is approached by a woman named 'Beatress', a stripper at the club Mary interviewed at who has had herself surgically altered to resemble 'Betty Boop'.
"Beatress offers Mary a large sum of money to perform surgery on a friend of hers, 'Ruby Realgirl', who wishes to complete her 'dollification'. Uncertain of the ethics, but still desperate for money, Mary performs the surgery.
"During her residency, Mary is invited to a party with several of the surgeons at her hospital. Once there, she is drugged and assaulted by her former teacher, 'Dr Grant'.
"Afterwards she goes to the club once more and hires their enforcers to kidnap the doctor who attacked her, performing a series of 'body modifications' on him (without the use of anesthetic). She then drops out of medical school and goes into consensual body modification surgery full time, leaving a trail of misery in her wake..."
