The Girl Who Couldn't Kill

Rory Peng has always fantasized about murder. On the outside, Rory is the ideal student, philosophically smart and independent of her own problems. On the contrary, she doesn't really stand out at her American High School in Taiwan. There was just something about Rory's life that was strangely normal and bleak. She was ordinary looking, accompanied by average grades and normal parents. So when she witnesses the aftermath of a homicide in the elevator of her dormitory, she comes face to face with her dark obsession, and her guilt melts into a frenzied panic. She is desperate to find the sadistic killer and is certain it had something to do with the wide-eyed boy hovering before the fresh corpse. Rory is determined to befriend this boy and live the dream that both haunted and exhilarated her. Will she finally find a deeper meaning in her life? Or will she forever drown in the pity of her own guilt?
