Synopsis

One day, a thirteen-year-old girl decides to startle a classmate. Instead, she accidentally kills him. And she likes it. Over the years, she begins experimenting with murder. Her victims are, of course, people that deserve it: a careless driver, a CEO of an energy corporation that is destroying the planet, a rapist. Every crime scene is flawlessuntraceable and made to look like an accident or suicide. But, as she sleepwalks through her day job and lives in a crummy apartment, one thing becomes increasingly clear: she needs more. Because nothing compares to the thrill of violent retribution.

She throws a rock at a schoolmate who is defecating by a river. The rock startles him and he falls in the river and drowns. But th......more
