Ink: Beneath the Stain

A boy is born with a giant blue birthmark covering half his face, and given the name “Ink” by his quirky artist mother. In a world full of bias, we watch him grow from an unconcerned toddler, to a spirited, defiant young boy, to an angry, hostile, and lonely teenager who despairs that no-one will ever see the boy beneath the stain. Finally we see him as a calmer young man who is starting to accept his fate. Providence steps in and he is swept away by a billionaire entrepreneur to a different world, a world of modeling, of Art, where what the rest of the world sees as eccentric and bizarre are celebrated. Perhaps he has found his niche. Except that, even now, all he is to people is his birthmark. No-one really has any interest in getting past it. Then he discovers that two other people have also suffered from bias all their lives: the billionaire entrepreneur, lord and master of this new world of Art, and a poor, beautiful dancer from Paraguay. The three form a charged and passionate relationship which hurtles towards tragedy. In the end, however, love prevails.
