A group of three college students receive a call from their deceased friend Jack, who was nervous and paranoid before his death. When they go to Jack's house, they find he has been murdered and a flash drive on his body with an audio file from the antagonist threatening the students. The pilot episode introduces the four main characters: Jack, the friendly but paranoid student now deceased; James, the smart introvert; Lucy, the self-centered "cool kid"; and Frank, the timid student who doesn't like conflict.
