A strange accident in the rural town of Guaiominnk leads to the arrest of a suspect for a double homicide from the sheriff's office, but further investigations will reveal something horrifying - a serial killer who abducted, tortured, and mutilated victims across the United States for the past twenty-five years. The suspect claims to be just a pawn in a colossal maze of lies and deception. Who can believe him?

The case immediately falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI, but this time they are forced to seek help from the former criminal behavior psychologist and detective of the Violent Crimes Unit of the Los Angeles Police Department, Robert Hunter, who is called upon to interrogate the prisoner. These interrogations will reveal chilling secrets that no one could have predicted, including the true identity of a killer so elusive that no one, not even the FBI, knew existed... until now.
