In this exhilarating thriller inspired by real-life
serial killer Ted Bundy, FBI profiler Caitlin Hendrix
faces off against a charming, merciless serial killer.
In southern Texas, on Saturday nights, women are
disappearing. One vanishes from a movie theater. Another
is ripped from her car at a stoplight. Another vanishes
from her home while checking on her baby. Rookie FBI agent
Caitlin Hendrix, newly assigned to the FBI’s elite
Behavioral Analysis Unit, fears that a serial killer is
roaming the dark roads outside Austin.
Caitlin and the FBI’s serial crime unit discover the first
victim’s body in the woods. She’s laid out in a
bloodstained, white baby-doll nightgown. A second victim
in a white nightie lies deeper in the forest’s darkness.
Both bodies are surrounded by Polaroid photos, stuck in
the earth like headstones. Each photo pictures a woman in
a white negligee, wrists slashed, suicide-style—posed like
Snow White awaiting her prince’s kiss.
To track the UNSUB, Caitlin must get inside his mind. How
is he selecting these women? Working with a legendary FBI
profiler, Caitlin searches for a homology—that elusive
point where character and action come together. She
profiles a confident, meticulous killer who convinces his
victims to lower their guard until he can overpower and
take them in plain sight. He then reduces them to objects
in a twisted fantasy—dolls for him to possess, control,
and ultimately destroy. Caitlin’s profile leads the FBI to
focus on one man: a charismatic, successful professional
who easily gains people’s trust. But with only
circumstantial evidence linking him to the murders, the
police allow him to escape. As Saturday night approaches,
Caitlin and the FBI enter a desperate game of cat and
mouse, racing to capture the cunning predator before he
claims more victims.
