A parody of self-help literature and motivational speakers, Luke Ricci's dark comedy follows charismatic serial killer Mike Wilson (Dameon Clarke) as he mentors his first pupil in the fine art of mass murder. Mike is the kind of guy who knows what he wants out of life, and knows how to get it. Now that Mike is living the dream, he wants to share his knowledge with others. In order to give aspiring serial killers all the tools they'll need to become the next Jeffrey Dahmer, he's crafted a 10-lesson program that covers such topics as weaponry, corpse disposal, and keeping secrets from loved ones. When it comes time for Mike to deliver his first one-on-one tutorial, he recruits a lost soul named Bart (Matthew Gray Gubler) and the lessons begin. As the schooling intensifies, Mike finds it increasingly difficult to keep his clandestine career a secret from his beloved girlfriend, Abigail (Laura Regan). Eventually, Abigail discovers the truth, and the police start closing in on Mike. Despite having escaped to his desert hideout along with Bart, the cops soon come knocking and all hell breaks loose. Will Mike and Bart ever escape to Mexico as planned, or will Mike's first lesson in police stand-offs and violent gunfights prove a complete and unexpected bust? [More]
