Now in college, Paul Bloom and Will Prince use their positions as the affable student president and vice president as masks to fool everyone, securing their secret second identity: the Westerling University Killer, as not-so-fondly dubbed by the WCPD. For a year, they orchestrate the murders of peers and campus personnel behind their innocent facades, with the assistance of the city's local arsonist and with the occasional run-in with the Westerling Cyberstalker -- the only person who claims to know who Paul and Will really are. Things start to become awry when Paul leaves a significant piece of evidence at a crime scene, stirring the WCPD to sniff for the duo like bloodhounds.
