The story

In prison, Johnny meets a surgeon named Resher (Whitaker), who is looking for a guinea pig so he can attempt an extensive modern procedure in reconstructive cosmetic surgery.

Johnny, figuring he has nothing to lose is given a new, normal-looking face (making him unrecognizable to the people who knew him) before he is released back into society.

The lieutenant tells Johnny that, on the inside, Johnny is still a hardened criminal and always will be.
