Basic plot outline: Luke's exultance at being selected for The Skulls (a secret society bred within the walls of a prominent Ivy League Campus) is soon overshadowed when he realises that all is 'not well in Wonderland'. For The Skulls is a breeding ground for the future powerful and elite. It's not only a far cry from his working class background, but it also hallows its own deep and dark secrets.

Review: This could have been a really cool film. The concept was really good, but they *just* *didn't* *pull* *it* *off*. It would start getting all funky and conspiratorial, and then flop on its face in a mush of cliche`. Pity... Although the Perve Factor is quite high in this film, so perhaps its worth seeing solely from that viewpoint *G* :).
