Neil's recovery, through surgical reconstruction and sexual alienation, forces him to question every value he's ever had, and his attempt to track down his mysterious attacker is a search for his own hidden, destructive self.The Blue Mask is a hardcore emotional trip that explores the trauma show more of change and the nature of violence and love.
