Synopsis/Details
On the 10 year anniversary of his family’s death, Bruce Cartwright is yet again haunted by the murderer of Los Juegos. As he sets out to find and take down the killer, Bruce finds clues that lead him to the verge of justice, but his vengeful rage soon turns against him, hindering his investigation. Despite his eventual and inevitable termination from the force, Bruce hunts the killer on his own.
Andy Dillinger, the suave, charismatic artist and manager of Barnes Vinlys record shop charms a young and beautiful singer, fends off an obsessed rookie journalist (Samantha Donaghue), and terrorizes the city by brutally murdering and dismembering its young women. Andy’s lust for killing and art is fueled by his traumatic past: watching his family’s murder by the hands of Jackson Roosevelt, the serial killer Bruce arrested 10 years earlier.
Samantha finds herself at a crossroads when she goes from stalking the topic of her arts column, the charming and handsome Andy, to discovering that she has become obsessed with the serial killer of Los Juegos. As her decisions waver between her adoration of Andy and her desire to become an important figure in the journalism world, she fuels the fire of Andy's murder spree, eventually becoming the catalyst that leads to his downfall.
