      Ve svém venkovském jezerním městě sedmnáctiletá Jade sleduje nedávné události, na které ji mohla připravit pouze její encyklopedická znalost hororových filmů.Jade Danielsová je naštvaná vyvrhelka s násilnickým otcem, neznámou matkou a celým městem, které s ní nechce mít nic společného. Žije ve svém vlastním světě, v němž útěcha přichází z neobvyklého zdroje: z hororových filmů... zejména z těch, kde se maskovaný zabiják snaží pomstít světu, který mu ublížil. A Jade vypráví svéráznou historii Proofrocku, jako by to byl právě jeden z těchto filmů. Když se do místního jezera skutečně začne rozlévat krev, vtáhne nás do své neuvěřitelné mysli plné krve a maskovaných vrahů a přesně předpovídá, jak se bude zápletka vyvíjet.Přesto, i uprostřed Jadeina temného horečnatého snu, se vynořuje překvapivý a intimní portrét... portrét vyděšené a traumatizované holčičky schované pod maskou sériového vraha: je to dívka naštvaná, ale také dívka, která se snadno rozpláče, zuřivě miluje, a zoufale touží po domově. Dívka, jejíž city jsou větší než její tělo.
