Doctor Palmer, a former pathologist, wrote a fictional book based on his real cases. In the book, the madman gets caught, but in reality he is still uncaught. After the book is released, Palmer's editor is kidnapped. Palmer soon is sent a present containing a page of his book, and a bone from his editor. Together with the police, Palmer tries to find his editor, who might still be alive. In addition, his own son becomes one of the main suspects. Written by Julian Reischl

Plot

Chicago's chief medical examiner Dr William Palmer (Rutger Hauer) uses his experience to pen a best-selling novel based on the grisly murders of a real-life serial killer. In the book, the culprit is brought to justice, but in real life he was never found. So when Palmer's editor disappears, leaving only a severed finger behind, it seems that the psychopath might have decided to return to his murderous ways. It is now a race against the clock, with Palmer using every trick in the book in a desperate attempt to track down the killer before further body parts start turning up.
