Anton, a slick and succesful creative at an ad agency, decides to get a tattoo to prove his girlfriend that he is still 'rock 'n' roll'. When Anton accidently hits Dr. Lee - the tattoo artist - with his car, Lee puts an old Chinese curse on him. Slowly but surely, the tattoo gets bigger and bigger, and Antons life starts to fall apart... Based on the comic by Uli Oesterle.
