Complete story — includes the ending

Danny Darwin ( Yul Vazquez ), the hard-partying front man of the heavy metal band Exorcist, announces at the band's latest show that his best friend, guitarist Nick Bosch ( Paul Hipp ), has gotten married. Danny fears that Nick's wife, Scarlett ( Tia Carrere ), is attempting to break up the band, giving him a burning hatred for her. His groupie, Vendetta ( Sherrie Rose ), also hates Scarlett, and helps Danny calm down by letting him visit Farouche ( Heavy D ), a mysterious tattoo artist who ends up giving him a tattoo of Scarlett on his chest. Things quickly become surreal when the tattoo seems to develop a life of its own and will not go away, even after Danny murders the object of his hatred. Also starring musicians Gregg Allman (as the club owner), Rudy Sarzo (uncredited as Exorcist's bass player), and Steve Jones (as Exorcist's roadie).
