A murderous mental patient who believes herself to be legendary axe-wielding murderess Lizzy Borden escapes from the psychiatric ward and embarks on a bloody rampage at the local community college in this slasher shocker from Camp Blood producer David Sterling and Heartland of Darkness director Eric Swelstad. It's been five years since Cassie Daniels picked up an axe and butchered six innocent people. She told the doctors at the mental hospital that she thought she was Lizzy Borden, and every night in the sanitarium her victims return to haunt her. One day, during a regular therapy session, Cassie slips back into Lizzie mode and murders her therapist before staging a daring escape. Once on the outside Cassie adapts an assumed name, befriending a history professor at the local community college and showing a noted interest when he announces that his students are studying the legend of Lizzie Borden. As the end-of-semester prom night dance draws near, the murderous spirit tale hold and the body count starts to rise. By the day of the dance, only one student is left to fight the homicidal maniac. Will he be capable of brining this bloody massacre to an end, or will he end up just another victim on old Lizzie Borden's chopping block?
