Bruiser is the story of a man who has always tried to fit in. He keeps his mouth shut, follows the rules, does what he's supposed to do. But one morning, he wakes up to find ... ...his face is gone. All the years of acquiescence have cost him the one thing he can't replace. His identity. Now he's a blank, outside as well as in, an anonymous, featureless phantom. He explodes. Bent on revenge, he sets out to murder the people who have done him wrong. The wife who has been cheating on him for years. The best friend who has been robbing him blind. The boss who has treated him like dirt. The police pursue him, but he defies identification. Only one person gets close to him, a woman he has admired from afar. He hides his secret from her, taking comfort in her presence, but he knows that, at least for now, they can't be together. With each act of revenge, he forges a new identity for himself, reveling in the freedom that his anonymity bestows. But then... ...his face comes back. Leaner, stronger, tougher than before. It's the face of a man who has learned to stand up for himself, to follow his own rules. [Less]
