Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor and an even better serial killer. She's made it her mission in life to track down predatory men on campus and kill them, and she's preparing for her biggest murder yet.
Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year at college - keeping her head down and focussing on work. But when her roommate Allison is assaulted at a party, Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay.
When police start investigating the spate of local deaths, Scarlett starts to realise it's only a matter of time before her secret life is exposed and everything she's built comes crashing down with it...
