Aprašymas

Silence of the Lambs reborn in a gripping serial killer thriller.

Chestnut Hill is one of Philadelphia's most upscale neighborhoods. But in one gleaming home, in a teenager's lavish bedroom, a girl has been brutally murdered.

The atrocity kicks off an investigation by police who connect the girl's murder to a bizarre string of increasingly disturbing murders.

A serial killer is loose-someone of unprecedented savagery.

As the city's panic rises, Teddy Mack, a civil attorney just out of law school, is forced by a partner at his new firm to defend the undefendable.

But soon after, another girl goes missing. A girl who might still be alive. And Teddy discovers something the police never guessed.

The serial killer has a secret. He's collecting something. Something twisted. Something horrific and vile.

To end the madman's reign, Teddy must enter his maze-a place of unimaginable terror where human demons emerge with a vengeance.
