Overview
At Benmington University something very wrong is happening in Jake's dorm room. His roommate is about to take his homework to new heights. College will be anything but educational in this first film outing by author filmmaker Jorge Ameer. In the vein as "Apartment Zero" and "Bad Influence" comes this sordid thriller of depravity and experimentation.
