Truly, Deeply Disturbed is the story of an unnamed and unrepentant serial killer who preys on what he sees as society's dregs - the bullies, the greedy, the corrupt. After stalking and killing a man who he witnessed abusing a server at a fast food restaurant, he makes a startling discovery: Samantha, a seven-year-old orphan that the man had kept as a sex slave. With little choice but to keep the only witness to the murder close, he takes her under his wing and cares for her, quickly coming to think of her as his own child. A chance car accident introduces him to Azusa, a reality television star who is widely known as the world's most hated woman. The protagonist finds the real woman beneath the reality TV persona, and Azusa finds the kind, loving man behind the serial killer, and a romance buds. Unwilling and unable to give up on what he sees as his mission, the protagonist must juggle a burgeoning relationship, a scheme to legitimately adopt Samantha without implicating himself in her captor's murder, and his perceived contribution to society: cutting out its cancerous cells.

"Great concept, great voice, I loved how it is both gleefully regressive and transgressive at the same time. The characters are the perfect mix of sympathetic and repulsive. Hellz to the yeah, is what I'm sayin'." - Nathan Singer (Chasing the Wolf, In the Light of You)

"I kill people because people are assholes. I am what you might call a humaniphobe. I have a strong, irrational hatred of humanity. So when they piss me off – and they piss me off with frightening regularity – I do the world a favor and eliminate them. Slowly. Painfully. Often messily. "
