Description
A man's rage escalates into violence at home on April 4, 1999. A police officer discovers human tissue and organs in a bag left out for garbage. Forensic detectives uncover evidence of dismemberment and deliberate mutilation. The investigation that follows reveals a shocking case of murder. The victim is identified as Maggie Karer, a prostitute whose body has been dismembered and hidden behind a false wall. Traces of blood are found in the basement and throughout the house. The killer's identity is linked to Sam Pirrera, a steelworker with a history of violence against his estranged wife. Veteran homicide detective Peter Abi Rashed leads the investigation, which takes him back to a case he pursued years earlier. As the detectives dig deeper, they wonder if there are more victims in this gruesome real-life crime.
