Welcome to WHO WANTS TO BE A PAINIAC, the latest reality TV show on the hunt for the next big-hit serial killer. But don't worry-no one is actually going to murder anyone, as real as the fake gore and pretend murder may appear... uh, right Becca is about to find out. When her mum dies in a car crash, a strange girl named Stef appears and lets Becca know that her deceased mum was none other than one of Alcatraz 2.0's most popular serial killers - Molly Mauler. Soon, Becca ends up on Who Wants to Be a Painiac to learn the truth, but things soon take a sinister turn.
