Jade Daniels has no mother, an abusive father, and those around her simply don't care. There is reason to be angry with the town of Prufrock and its people. And an even greater reason is to immerse yourself in your own fantasy world, the source of which is horror films... especially those in which a masked maniac takes revenge for the harm he has caused. Jade knows these films literally by heart, remembers all the script moves, characters and the history of the creation of each horror film.

And she tells the bizarre story of her hometown as if it were the plot of one of these films. And the deep waters of Indian Lake turn the color of blood, and a homicidal maniac emerges. Jade, like a living encyclopedia of masked killers with machetes, chainsaws or knives in their hands, accurately predicts the development of events, as if she creates them, remaining at heart a frightened little girl who cries easily, loves passionately and desperately wants to find her home.
