SECURITY 

In the streets of Berkeley there's been a murder and rumors of a violent loner lurking near campus. Berkeley students pursue personal relationships in a time of global insecurity. Drones hover over Middle Eastern deserts sending back ghoulish videos of "enemies of the state" being assassinated. Will the loner strike again? What else do students have to fear?
