Natalie en haar vrienden volgen colleges folklore van Dr. Wexler. Wexler vertelt over verschillende 'urban legends', waaronder die van een psychotische professor, die 25 jaar geleden op de universiteit zes studenten vermoordde. Nadat haar vroegere vriendin onthoofd teruggevonden wordt, vermoedt Natalie als eerste dat er een moordenaar op de campus rondloopt. Er werd immers ook al iemand gevonden die in het bos was opgehangen en haar kamergenote pleegde op een nogal vreemde wijze zelfmoord. Niemand gelooft haar, totdat het echt uit de hand begint te lopen.
