Determined to fulfill a legacy of pharmaceutical death, a sadistic terrorist immerses his forces within the heart of Grimville's metropolis and initiates a killing spree in the trenches of morbidly corrupt academia. As the brutal slaughters and scheming masterminds in question erase the bridge between genuine suspicion and extreme paranoia, infectious warfare is the result.

In a desperate fight for survival amid Grimville's heinous killings and soon-to-be apocalypse, pre-pharmacy students must form an allegiance by defying their notorious rivalry of the Cloak Clan and the Dagger Dynasty. With a larger-than-life trial-by-fire at hand, they will either forge the antithesis of Grimville's most destructive terrorist...or fall victim to the Slaughter Scheme.
