Instead, she finds her professor dead in a bathtub, her thesis marked for rejection, and leaves enough clues at the murder scene to make her a suspect. Before she can say, 'What doesn't kill you sends you to therapy, ' the mob gets involved and it's up to Jessica and her ragtag posse of friends - Amber the tech-savvy hippie, Jack the wisecracking stoner, and Lolita the seductive poker 'Tsarina' - to catch the killer before Jessica becomes the next victim.
