"Nakoshi Susumu, age thirty-four, lives out of his car. Between spending his days with the homeless and his nights in his vehicle, he has little to his name. When a medical student begins to stalk him, offering to pay Nakoshi a significant sum of cash to undergo a strange surgical procedure, Nakoshi initially refuses. But after his beloved car is towed, he finally agrees to take the offer and subjects himself to the operating table. What, if anything, will Nakoshi see differently once he awakens?"--

Nakoshi has had plenty of questions since getting involved with Ito s experiment. But there is one thing in particular that s been nagging at him: Why do only some of the people he looks at appear monstrous, while others seem normal? Before he can solve this riddle, he is confronted with a more pressing concern. His own left arm now looks robotic!

"Nakoshi is getting closer to the crux of who he is, and he's starting with his face--the one he used to have. One by one, the lies Nakoshi and Ito have told each other are coming to light. How will Nakoshi react when he finds out that Ito knew about his cosmetic surgery all along?"--
