In this gripping psychological thriller, a serial killer is on the loose in a small city. It's the year 1984 and the miners have gone on strike in England. A year earlier, police officers discovered the body of Lynda Mann in Narborough, a small town outside the East Midlands city of Leicester. When another body is discovered in Leicester in 1984, Inspector Thomas Jackson and Sergeant Daniel Tate believe it is the same killer. However, when they invite Dr. Claire Ashby, a psychologist to help them build a profile of the killer, it seems their initial conclusions were false. The killer leaves mementos at the scene of each crime and also sends letters to the police and Claire Ashby to increase confusion. Adding to the confusion, Thomas Jackson is in love with Claire, yet she is distracted by the death of her mother and the investigation. The body count continues as the team become frustrated leading to mistakes and poor judgement. This psychological thriller weaves a real-life murder into a tale of a serial killer who wears the mask of sanity.
