Plot

Veteran LAPD Detective Leo Kessler is assigned to investigate a series of brutal murders targeting young women. As the bodies pile up, Kessler quickly zeroes in on Warren Stacy, a disturbed loner with a misogynistic past and no remorse for his violent tendencies. However, Stacy is meticulous, leaving no evidence behind. Frustrated by watching the legal system fail to protect the innocent, Kessler decides to manipulate the investigation by planting evidence to ensure Stacy’s capture and conviction. This morally gray decision puts Kessler at odds with his partner, rookie detective Paul McAnn, who believes in following the letter of the law. McAnn faces an ethical dilemma as he must balance his respect for Kessler’s experience with his own commitment to justice.

Meanwhile, Kessler's intense focus on catching Stacy puts his daughter, Laurie, in harm's way, as she becomes an inadvertent target. As Stacy continues his killing spree with a chilling determination, Kessler finds himself racing against time to prevent more deaths and protect his daughter. The tension between Kessler's aggressive tactics and McAnn’s adherence to the rules escalates, culminating in a high-stakes pursuit. As the law tightens its grip on Stacy through Kessler's relentless pursuit, the true test of justice versus vengeance unfolds.
