Becoming his friend was a mistake she'll live to regret.

Face Value is the tragic story of real-life cover girl Marla Hanson, whose fledgling career is ended abruptly after a vicious knife attack leaves her face scarred for life.

Up-and-coming model Marla Hanson (Cheryl Pollack, Pump Up The Volume) moves to New York City to fulfill her dream of becoming a top fashion model. A chance meeting with photographer Eric Warner (Dale Midkiff, Pet Sematary), opens doors to opportunities that Marla's only dreamed of - until now. With her star on the rise, Marla decides to move out on her own. Eric introduces her to makeup artist, Steve Roth (Kirk Baltz, Resevoir Dogs), a man with a room to rent and a dark, growing obsession for her.

As Marla's relationship with Eric blossoms, Steve becomes increasingly jealous. He tells Marla he wants more from their relationship, but she refuses his overtures. Steve's continued harassment leads Marla to break her lease and meet with him one final time to retrieve her security deposit. It is this last fateful meeting that will change the course of her life forever.
