　　维奥莱特（梅格翰·法伊 Meghann Fahy 饰）是一名多年来第一次约会的寡妇和单亲妈妈，她来到约会地点的一家高级餐厅之后，就因为她的约会对象亨利（布兰登·斯克莱纳 Brandon Sklenar 饰）比她预期中更有魅力和更帅气感到非常高兴。但是随着一连串的匿名讯息开始陆续传送到她的手机，维奥莱特就从一开始的烦躁逐渐陷入恐惧，而这两人之间原本擦出的火花也开始冷却下来。　　后来她收到指示不准把这件事告诉任何人，而且必须遵守匿名讯息的指令，否则她透过手机上的家用监视器看到的帽T神秘人物就会杀死维奥莱特年幼的儿子以及正在当他保姆的姐姐。维奥莱特必须完全按照指令行动，否则她所爱的每个人都会死去，而一直在无形中折磨她的神秘人物最后的指令又是什么？杀死亨利。

影片改编自美剧新闻网站TVLine.com主席兼编辑部主任Michael Ausiello的传记书，被描述为“一个关于爱和失去的故事，让人心碎的悲喜剧”：Ausiello的男友Kit Cowan被诊断为晚期癌症，最终去世。两人最后11个月中的生活描述中交织着此前相遇相知的片段，和他们一起走过14年的点点滴滴。克服了诸多障碍才找到真爱的他们，又要一起面对人生中最大的挑战。

　　The Horror of Dolores Roach is a grotesque Sweeney Todd-inspired tale of Eat or Be Eaten; a macabre urban legend of love, betrayal, weed, gentrification, cannibalism, and survival of the fittest. It follows the indomitable Dolores Roach, who returns to a New York City neighborhood that has changed drastically during the sixteen years she has been in prison. Her boyfriend missing, her family long gone, Dolores is recognized only by an old stoner friend, Luis, who gives Dolores room and board and lets her give massages for cash in the basement apartment under his dilapidated empanada shop.　　When the promise of her newfound stability is quickly threatened, ‘Magic Hands Dolores’ is driven to extremes to survive — leaving in her wake a string of strangled massage clients. In the face of unexpected professional success, Dolores and Luis become dangerously symbiotic, and Luis must unleash his own particular predilections.
