description: The gruesome murder of a male prostitute in a Times Square movie theater seems worlds away from Montpelier - an exclusive all-boys prep school in rural Virginia. But as rehearsals proceed for an upcoming student production of Shakespeare's "Othello" a series of shockingly similar campus deaths makes one fact frighteningly clear: the porno-house killer is now stalking the halls of academia. And before the madman's grisly final act, many secret and sinister passions will come to light - revealing among Montpelier's faculty and student body the lust for power, for pain, for sexual conquest. And for one, an insatiable passion for blood.
