Six Students. One Murder. Your Time Starts Now...

The mature students of Royal Hastings University's new art course have been nothing but trouble. From accusations of theft and setting fire to one another's artwork, to a rumoured extramarital affair and a disastrous road trip, course leader Gela Nathaniel is at her wits' end. But finally they are given their last assignment: to build an art installation for a local manufacturer.

With six students who have nothing in common except their clashing personal agendas, what could possibly go wrong?The answer is: murder. When the external examiner arrives to assess the students' coursework, he becomes convinced that a student was killed on the course and that the others covered it up. But is he right? Only a close examination of the evidence will reveal the truth.
