Scarlett was gifted with beauty. But beauty can be taken in a day, in a single moment, by one car fire.

Now permanently disfigured, Scarlett has become a smudge in her perfect world. She can see only one acceptable solution: to escape the modern world for Matilda Mountain, which is desolate, isolated, forlorn. Perfect.

Can Scarlett break free from the confines of her beauty-obsessed culture to discover who she is beyond the layers of her skin?
