School For Scandal. The Tycoon: Sir Richard Pierce, corporate raider and asset stripper par excellence. A man motivated to protect his interests, with his own private school to boot. The Headmaster: Stephen Purnell. Vain, pompous and ambitious. He knows his wife is cheating on him, he just doesn't know who with. The Teacher: Danny Torrance. Disposable, friendless and on a downward trajectory. The perfect fall guy. The Killer: A murderer of women. Tired and ready for the killing to stop. Just so long as he can take everyone else with him.
