Justina Machado is getting her hands bloody for Amazon: The One Day at a Time star will headline the podcast adaptation The Horror of Dolores Roach for the streamer, our sister site Variety reports.

The potential series, which has earned a pilot order at Amazon, stars Machado as the title character, aka “Magic Hands,” a masseuse who gets out of prison to find her neighborhood of Washington Heights severely gentrified in her absence. In the podcast, Dolores sets up a massage parlor and has an unfortunate encounter with a sleazy landlord that leads to murder and (yikes) cannibalism.

Machado’s other TV credits include Jane the Virgin and Queen of the South.
