A series of deadly accidents recklessly spin the moral compass of two college students in this suspenseful thriller/dark comedy set in the California desert. The choices they make dig their bright future into a dark hole and the reality of a lifetime in prison lurks around every bend.

"The Craigslist Killer" follows the dark, mysterious life Philip Markoff (Jake McDorman) conducted online while preparing for a promising future as a doctor and a life of happiness with his fiancée, Megan McAllister (Agnes Bruckner). Seemingly destined for greatness as one of Boston University's brightest med students, Markoff could do no wrong in the eyes of Megan, his friends, fellow students and professors. But hidden from those close to him was the violent wrath only he and his victims knew - beginning with his alleged April 14, 2009, first-degree murder of a masseuse who advertised her services on Craigslist. When police discover that the brutal killing and a number of other attacks on women were all connected to advertisements placed on Craigslist, their investigation ultimately leads them to Markoff.

Drugs, sex, and the allure of fast money blur the boundaries between two very different sides of society.
