Mental Scars 2 picks up from where Mental Scars 1 left off. Dedra Lanucci the sexy and sassy bitch you love to hate, scams a group of investors in stealing their money for a phony business operation to convert a junkyard into parking. The junkyard sits on top of an ancient Native American burial ground. The investors don’t know that Dedra is the sister of the maniacal killer “David Taggart” who is the love child of a forbidden affair between a Native American man and a white woman.

Dedra’s mission is to get revenge for the decimation of her tribe by taking investors’ money only to feed them to her brother David. The junkyard is the home of David the protector of the land, and nothing will stop his insatiable appetite for human encroachers “Calling of the Tribe” takes you back to when the wrath of Taggart began. Betty Taggart the wife of a demented husband Gus Taggart, has promiscuous affairs with local Native American men, and gives birth to 3 children all fathered by different men. David Taggart, the youngest love child was the son of the town’s highly respected Native American “ Chief Bear”.

To avoid being killed by her demented husband, Betty convinced Gus that all three children were his. Chief later dies from the hands of Gus Taggart’s father for reasons of greed, but Betty held the secret of the love affair, and quietly mourned the death of Chief Bear. He was the only man Betty truly loved. David Taggart was born with a mental illness. His medical charts denote episodes of Rage, OCD, self -injurious, and repetitious behaviors, but with no definitive diagnoses was ever rendered. However, David is high functioning in his ambi-dexterity to build weapons, and express his inner self through his morbid art work. His gift enables him to methodically destroy anyone who crosses his path with such precision and detail that you fear he is all around you. Betty and Gus Taggart were killed in a horrific car accident that left David Taggart’s face severely wounded.

David is taken into the hospital where he under went extensive reconstruction surgery, but later leaves the hospital before treatment was completed. His constant fit of rage is reflected in his habitual picking of the face, which results in open oozing wounds. David is later institutionalized, and this is where we get the first glimpse of David Taggart’s dark mind. He is the subject of all doctor conferences, and his fellow patience finds him equally intriguing. David ‘s mindset is to get back home “the junkyard” where he felt safe from the outside world for many years. This is the only home he knows, and with the help of an unknown person in the asylum, David is set free to go to the junkyard where the bloodshed continues. Mental Scars 2 “Calling of the Tribe”
