It's the first day of the winter semester at New York College, and assistant dorm director Heather Wells has a lot more to worry about than room-mate conflicts One of the college cheerleaders has lost her head - literally - in the cafeteria, and no one can find the rest of her With the entire population of the dorm under suspicion for murder, it doesn't look like anyone on campus is going to have a good semester Heather's got a decapitated cheerleader to deal with, as well as her ex insisting she has to be at his wedding, her incompetent new boss freaking out over his job demands, her ex-con father showing up on her doorstep, and the love of her life still no closer to realizing she's the girl of his dreams, it's no wonder Heather prefers questioning suspects to dealing with her personal life
