Joe Trumbull is a juvenile probation officer working in
Kingston, New York. He's also a man with a tragic past.
Two years ago, while his friends were toasting him at his
bachelor party, his fiancée was strangled in bed at her
parents' home. Joe has shunned women since - living only
for his job and his workouts in the gym below his dingy
apartment.
Now, Joe finally decides to go on a blind date with a
woman chosen out of the Kingston newspaper. The date goes
surprisingly well. But then the woman is found dead, and
Joe begins to realize that there's someone out there with
dark plans for him.
The murder of another woman follows, and still another.
Joe finds himself in a game of cat-and-mouse with the best
criminal investigators in the state of New York. But in
the end, it all leads to a lonely showdown, with Joe
fighting for his life against a faceless man in the
shadows - the one man who will do anything it takes to
destroy him.
