A darkly comedic slasher that weaponizes reality-TV tropes to justify a psychopath's systematic murder of unsuspecting women.

Following his dismissal from a television reality show, a deranged young man lures a group of beautiful coeds to his abode by telling them they will be the stars of a new show he is creating. What the women do not know is that when they lose their slot on the show, they lose their lives as well.
