Three years ago, Han Seojun walked away from both the stage and the man he loved. To the public, he was nothing more than “the decent supporting role standing next to actor Choi Seunghyeon.” To Seojun, the humiliation of being overshadowed by his partner, and the pain of leaving him behind, was enough to end his career altogether. Now, at 29, Seojun’s world is far removed from the spotlight. He waits tables at a bar, scraping by on wages that disappear into debts and the money he dutifully sends to his parents in the countryside. His dreams are long buried, his heart heavier than his empty wallet. And then Seunghyeon appears again. Not as a memory, but in the flesh, standing in Seojun’s workplace, urging him to act on stage once more. The man he loved. The career he abandoned. Both return at once, reopening wounds Seojun thought would never bleed again.

His rage and temper lands him in jail where he meets the mysterious “Dr. F,” a man whose invisibility ray gun killed his daughter and led to the continued diminishing visibility of his granddaughter, Ami. Once freed from jail, James tracks down the gun and turns it on himself, but stops right before he’s fatally wounded. James can no longer be discriminated against due to his skin color for he has none!

Written in a dark period of Tezuka’s life, Alabaster is a thrilling revenge story that touches on the dark side of humanity and the extent one would go to get even. It shows that not only does it affect the victims, but how destructive it is to be surrounded by such animosity. How far will you go for retribution?
