In the fall of 2021, 19-year-old Daniel Santulli pledged Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Missouri. During a brutal pledge process, Danny was deprived of sleep, separated from family, and forced to be at the beck and call of his future brothers. On the evening of October 19, Danny and his fellow pledges were summoned to the frat house. Blindfolded, and with a bottle of vodka taped to his hand, Danny was ordered to drink it all. With lethal levels of alcohol coursing through his body, Danny collapsed. He was dumped on a couch and abandoned. Instead of calling an ambulance, the Fiji brothers tried to cover their tracks – driving him to the hospital in the cloak of darkness. The Santulli family would later uncover devastating truths about that fateful night when security camera footage capturing some of the ghastly hazing was uncovered, but their fight for Danny was just beginning.

Over the course of six episodes, the series details a variety of first-hand accounts of the dark side of fraternity and sorority life at universities across the country.
