"Kayfabe: The portrayal of staged events within the professional wrestling industry as 'real' or 'true,' specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships."
When a heroic luchadora's efforts to step out of her abusive father's shadow threaten to expose her secret life as a serial killer, she struggles to leave her own mark in the ring before the law catches up with her.
With a starry-eyed wunderkind under her wing, an angry rival nipping at her heels, a city full of men who need to die, and an unorthodox detective hot on her bloody trail, how can she forge her own path when a lifetime of abuse--in a world where your mask is all that maters--has left her terrified of who and what she might really be? As the drama of the ring spills into her everyday life, and the murderous rage of her everyday life creeps into the ring, she careens toward a final reckoning that could save her soul--or destroy it.
Kayfabe, while steeped in a potent cocktail made from gonzo sportsploitation, a shot of crime thriller suspense, and a splash of bloody horror, ultimately depicts the human drama of the need to be seen for who you really are, even in the face your deepest pain.
