A man wearing a shredded lab coat sprinted toward the elevator, spurts of red gushing from where his arm had previously been. His appendage had been ripped raggedly at the elbow.

Jill McCourty is on the date from hell when she gets a disturbing phone call from an old professor she once had a fling with. Next thing you know she's being forced to confront her past and is living out a nightmare of humongous proportions.
