People don't pay Tad Mortriciano much attention. And that's a problem. Tad, you see, is a movie star. Or rather was. That is until the night he comes down with a mild cold and an unexplained darkening of his birthmark, shaped like a badminton shuttlecock. He starts to lose screen presence, his movies flop, his mother stops calling and his dog ignores him. He takes to wearing lime green candy-striped suits to get attention, but no one cares.Until one day when he is accosted in the library by a young woman wearing dental headgear, who has the same dark birthmark. Together, they encounter other emotionally invisible individuals who have always been among us.First in a series, Calling Mr. Beige begins a story of self-discovery, a fitful romance, and an ongoing life and death struggle which has raged unknown for centuries.
