Everybody's heard of them...yet they have no traceable source. They're Urban Legends, contemporary tall-tales that emerge from the underground and take on colourful lives of their own.

When a series of strange deaths occur on the campus of Pendleton College, student Natalie (Alicia Witt - Four Rooms, TV's Cybill) begins to suspect that there is a bizarre link - someone is making urban legends a sinister reality.

But when Natalie gets too close to discovering the killer's demented desire to re-create the ultimate urban legend, she realises that she could be his next victim...
