Plot
Mary's surgical student opens an extra wing suture on raw turkey. Feeling desperate and desperate for fundraising, Mary applied for a job at the strip club, where she met Billy Barker, the club's owner. Billy needs a medical professional to patch a bloody man in his club basement, a clear victim of illegal deals, and offer Mary $ 5,000 for emergency operations, no questions asked. Mary accepted the money, but spent the next few days with a fear of criminal activity involving her going to follow her home.
On the one hand, that's true. Mary was approached by Beatress Johnson, a stripper at the club where Mary signed up. Beatress underwent extreme plastic surgery to make himself resemble Betty Boop. Beatress offered Mary a large sum of money to perform an illegal operation on her friend, Ruby Realgirl, at the veterinary clinic. Ruby wants to be transformed into a human puppet, and can not find a surgeon willing to complete the final step in his change: removing his nipples, all external genitals, and sewing the parval stitches partially. Mary does surgery because she needs funds and believes Ruby's wish is genuine. Following up on Ruby's website introduces Mary to the world of extreme body modification.
Mary started her residency in surgery, and her teacher and mentor praised her promising skills. Mary was invited to a place she believed to be a networking party with several head surgeons at her hospital. It is not that. Mary is the only young resident invited, and the surgeons commit obscene acts to the others present, who are obviously escorting. Mary was drugged, strangled, and raped at the party by her former teacher, Dr. Alan Grant, who filmed the attack. None of his teachers or mentors expressed guilt or regret for his attacks, and Mary quit his residency.
Mary hired Billy and his enforcers from his club to kidnap Grant and escort him to his apartment for revenge, including an unintentional operation.
Mary underwent a full-time, consensual body-modification operation, with words quickly spreading through dark web channels that "Bloody Mary" was a highly skilled surgeon, willing to perform any desired extreme surgery. He built himself in Billy's strip club and used his contacts for his new business.
A police detective, Detective Dolor, approached Mary about Dr Grant's disappearance and the disturbing cassette collection found in her apartment. Dr. Walsh, the surgeon who had invited Mary to the party, named Mary to the detective in a long list of women who might hold a grudge against Dr. Grant.
Mary had actually taken care of Dr. Grant remained alive and used him as a "practice" material for his extreme operations, using his photographs as a portfolio that became his business base. Mary kills a security guard who finds Dr. Grant, and Billy, who became attached to Mary, kidnapped and defeated Dr. Walsh on his behalf.
Detective Dolor approached Mary again, hoping to help her because she found out about the sex party that the two missing doctors used to throw and believed that she had fallen victim to one of them. The police circle was closer, suspicious about the loss of the second surgeon from his residency and Mary's new wealth.
Mary began to extricate herself from the attention of the police, worried that her rape record would be found, and the death of her grandmother. A dissatisfied couple from one of Mary's patients who turned her attack with a knife. Mary could sew her own wound, but bleed to death in her operating room, found by police.
