Each video features tortured victims, murder, and the disposal of victim’s mutilated corpses. The white masked killer dressed as a plague doctor appears in over 800 tapes that law enforcement must investigate. The film, loosely based on a real serial killer from Poughkeepsie along with other notorious killers.
