What is the Plot of Trap?

Sometime during the concert, Cooper heads out when he notices an unusual amount of security at the concert and one of the people working there lets Cooper in on a secret.
The entire concert is a trap to capture a serial killer who has been going around, chopping people up, and the serial killer is indeed at the concert because it is none other than Cooper himself. You can catch a glimpse of Cooper and his serial killer ways in the trailer of the movie.
