Review Summary
Dozens of beautiful models works for Digital Matrix, a TV advertising company run by John Reston. The models are told they need minor adjustments to their looks despite already being very physically appealing to the point that no one would hardly notice their small flaws anyway. The models are referred to plastic surgeon Dr. Larry Roberts where the beauties flaws are fixed and now absolutely perfect.

To make things even more interesting, each lady body is digitally taken 3D on a computer where they are clone and used for advertising, which make any viewer assumed they are looking at a real human being. The models then receives a paycheck that they can live off for life. What might seem like a good thing, would soon turn deadly as all the women that were perfectly enchanced by Dr. Roberts is mysteriously killed one by one, except for one model named Cindy Fairmont- who is next to be on the hitlist.

Police are highly suspicious of all these unsolved deaths and the only one they would blame for it is Dr. Roberts; since he is the only one who altered their looks. With the help of Cindy to get his name cleared, the model and Dr. Roberts does some investigation on the company and their odd motives of freakishly killing off their employees. The two finds out about L.o.o.k.e.r a special gun with laser beam lightening is use to hypnotize consumers to buy any of Reston's products and totally forget their sense of time. This disastrous device might be the main clue for the women's demise and probably the evidence to prove that this is not any of Dr. Robert's doings.
