5	A WebVideo series debuting in 2010, focusing on murderers, serial killers, and [[VillainProtagonist all around villains]].
6
7	The pilot shows the event when a nameless man enters the house of a drinking lounge-about. What happens next is chaos and violence, coupled with the killer's dark desire and the poor man's fight to survive. Add a picture of a mysterious girl and a granola bar to the mix, and you've got a four minute short that was originally written to introduce an entire series.

12	!!The pilot, first appearing March 1, 2010, provides examples of:
13	%%* AlmostDeadGuy: After the blackout.
14	* AsYouKnow: Subverted. It seems the killer is about to tell the audience and the man why he's come to the house, but then simply drops the subject and then [[spoiler: kills him. Brutally.]]
15	* BookEnds: The pilot begins and ends with the sunny street.
16	* CurbStompBattle: Not right away, but it becomes quickly apparent that the killer is gonna walk out satisfied.
17	* DavidVersusGoliath: The killer is not a big guy. The slob is quite large.
18	%%* FightScene: Basically the whole thing.
19	* FollowTheLeader: The pilot makes it look almost Dexter-ish, but later episodes prove otherwise.
20	* ForkFencing: The slob pulls a steak knife out of a drawer when the fight makes its way into the kitchen.
21	* ImprovisedWeapon: When the killer finds himself against an armed man, he uses [[spoiler:a granola bar]] with deadly results.
22	* NamelessNarrative: No names are given for either the killer, the slob, or the [[spoiler: woman in the photo]]
23	%%* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Yeah, that knife isn't gonna help.
24	%%* PayEvilUntoEvil: Seems to be the backstory, but we?re never explicitly told.
25	* SharpDressedMan: Compare the killer's attire to the slob. It may not be a suit and tie, but it's certainly nicer.
26	* SoundtrackDissonance: The radio plays in the house, and the final song puts an eerie look to the final moments of the fight.
27	%%* VillainProtagonist: Yeah.
