Set in contemporary London, Jade’s guide is a poetic tale in eight chapters that leads the path to the newly proclaimed ultra violence. Young, beautiful and promising Jade decides to flee from her predefined posh London heritage family lifestyle and emerge into London’s alternative underground nightlife. Squatting in abandoned lofts, reflecting on the human existence, avoiding daylight and abusing amphetamines, she mutates to the new breed of urban vampires. Style is put above content and the deliberate mental cleansing fueled by drugs and fantasies of violence, reveals an honest, raw and coldblooded psychopath.
Determined to fight the boredom of existence, emotionless Jade and her Alter Ego Caspar develop a sick power game of terror. The victims to their killing game are found during their nightly escapades. This vicious circle of hunt, tease and kill, is fueled by the never-ending sense of emptiness in human existence. Numb to love and any form of human empathy, the stylized act of killing remains her only proof of existence.
The final act to their vision is just a matter of time. True leaders of the new ultra violence, the sixth chapter shows them embark on a killing spree glorifying their chosen lifestyle. It is the celebration of the “uber-stylized” act of killing. Jade becomes the anti role model for contemporaries’ youth’s resignation to fulfill predefined roles imposed by society. Cult of weapons, stylized attire and proclaiming the total anarchy with the sole survival of the fittest are displayed in this final massacre that surprises the audience through a revolting attraction to violence.
Jade’s goal seems achieved by becoming the leader of a new movement and generating the perfect image of the stylish ultra-violence persona, that longs to be copied or reenacted by her followers.

Living up to her own words, Jade’s actions must lead to a point of no return. Her deliberate choice to live her fantasy to the fullest and leave no traces inevitably means self destruction of her persona.
The high always entails the fall and Jade is no exception to that. The last chapter sees Jade facing death and she cannot longer hide behind her self-constructed ideology. The despised human feelings haunt her down. Fear of death makes her realize that her partner in crime and Alter Ego Caspar, was actually just a projection of her hate, polluting her thoughts. Victim of her own inability to connect to reality, her faith was sealed from the beginning.
Jade dies alone and in fear; a bi-product of modern society.
