Plot

Charles Butler is a world-renowned artist, but behind his macabre and grotesque imagery lies a more brutal truth. Alongside the insane Dr. Garrison and their mutant lackeys, he is kidnapping beautiful models and artists so he can take his art to the next stage, and turn living humans into living paintings.
