Chalk Cutter was spitefully nicknamed Moonface as a child, and lives a life of torment and isolation because of his unusual appearance.

When young, popular and beautiful Elizabeth openly ridicules him, Chalk has had enough, and he realises that only a revolution could induce change.

He kidnaps Elizabeth, intending to re-educate her - and ultimately mankind - in an attempt to lead a narcissistic society to treat all people as equal.

But Chalk hadn't anticipated his own emotional backlash to the brutal brainwashing process...

As he and Elizabeth begin to think alike, discussing ways to combat society's evils, he is forced to face increasing self-doubt and sexual urges that could jeopardise his vision.

His self-control diminishing, and after some reckless actions, his elaborate plan seems little more than a pipe-dream, until an old nemesis infiltrates Chalk and Elizabeth's world.

This fateful encounter is the catalyst for the creation of The Mortal Religion, the shocking revolution Chalk is certain will breed universal contentment...
