After a failed heist leaves him mutilated by experimental chemicals, small-time thief Patrick “Eel” O’Brian discovers his body has become elastic, unstable — and impossible to destroy. As his sanity stretches thin, Eel tries to rebuild his life, but his new form becomes both his punishment and addiction. When his former partner and mentor, Charlie “Kite-Man” Brown, resurfaces seeking revenge, Eel is forced to face the grotesque truth: he can change shape, but he can’t escape who he really is.
