The premise

Medical student Ted Grey graduates at the top of his class and quickly joins an elite pathology program, whose top students invite him into their circle. There he uncovers a gruesome secret: They play a game in which one tries to commit the perfect, undetectable murder, then the others compete to determine the victim's cause of death.

Horror Vault's take

A brilliant medical student earns his place among the top residents in a prestigious pathology program, only to discover that his new peers have twisted their expertise into something deeply sinister. After hours, these doctors play a deadly game — commit the perfect undetectable murder, then challenge each other to find out how it was done. What begins as morbid fascination quickly pulls the protagonist into a spiral of moral compromise he may not be able to escape. This slick, provocative thriller uses the cold clinical world of medicine as a backdrop for exploring how far ambition and ego can corrupt even the most promising minds.
