Synopsis

In A Mask for Kinsella, the story begins with Jim Kinsella waking up in a hospital bed, disoriented and confused after a devastating explosion at his chemical laboratory. The memories of the incident are hazy, but he recalls the frantic moments leading up to the blast and the desperate attempts to save his friend, Ted Brewster. As he regains consciousness, he learns from Dr. Bowman that he has undergone plastic surgery, resulting in a new face that resembles Ted's, who tragically died in the explosion.
