HOW TO BE A SERIAL KILLER pokes fun at the self-help literature industry andmotivational speakers in general. There are so many ways to get off track whilepursuing the perfect life, and an even greater number of pop-psychologists and gurusout there to lead the masses astray. Mike Wilson has found the perfect method ofgetting your life back on track and achieving a meaningful existence. Mike teaches hismethod in an exciting seminar series: How To Be A Serial Killer. Mike tells all of hisstudents: "You have what it takes, you just have to pull the trigger on the life youdeserve." Students rave about Mike's depth of knowledge on the subject of serial killingand his endless enthusiasm and zest for life. One student described Mike as "a tastysmoothy made from a little bit of Charles Manson, some Tony Robbins, and a sprinkle ofthe messianic charisma of Jesus."
Mike administers his first one-on-one tutorial when he recruits a lost soul named Bart tobe his pupil in the art of serial killing. Mike's 10-lesson program includes weaponry,corpse disposal, keeping things from loved ones, and many other pearls. As Mikebegins to teach Bart more and more about the ways of successful serial killing, itbecomes more and more difficult to hide the truth from his girlfriend Abigail. And whenshe does inevitably find out, Mike's life as serial killer gets thrown for a serious loop.Now, devastated by the loss of the love of his life, and with the cops on his tail for thefirst time in his life, Mike and Bart retreat to Mike's desert hideout to make preparationsfor their escape to Mexico. But when a local sheriff's department interrupts theirpreparations, all hell breaks loose, and Mike must learn a lesson of his own: how to dealwith police standoffs and full-scale gunfights.
