This introductory episode is set at the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity at Truman State University, in the small college town of Kirksville, Missouri. In 2016 and 2017 the fraternity was rocked by a series of suicides, which all happened in disturbingly similar fashion. All of the victims had one thing in common: They were close friends with a student named Brandon Grossheim. Brandon called himself “The Peacemaker” for his supposed abilities to counsel kids in crisis. But as he became tied up in one death after another, the fraternity brothers took action.
