《多洛雷斯·罗奇的恐怖》是一部怪诞的理发师陶德风格的吃或被吃的故事；一个关于爱、背叛、大麻、中产阶级化、同类相食和适者生存的恐怖都市传奇。故事讲述了不屈不挠的多洛雷斯·罗奇回到纽约市一个街区，在她入狱的十六年里，这个街区发生了翻天覆地的变化。多洛雷斯的男朋友失踪了，她的家人早已不在了，她只被一个老朋友路易斯认出来，路易斯给多洛雷斯提供食宿，并让她在他破旧的馅饼店地下室的公寓里做按摩赚钱。当她新获得的稳定生活的承诺很快受到威胁时，“魔术手多洛雷斯”被迫走向极端以求生存——在她身后留下了一连串被勒死的按摩客户。面对意想不到的职业成功，多洛雷斯和路易斯成为了危险的共生体，路易斯必须释放他自己的特殊偏好。

　　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.
