A dark, methodical true-crime drama about a serial killer's evasion and capture, grounded in Cold War ideology and psychological investigation.

For years, Andrei Evilenko eluded the obsessive Detective Lesiev and the psychiatric profiler Aron Richter. Spurred on by his rabid fury at the gradual crumbling of his precious Soviet Union, Evilenko is a man who will live, die and kill as a communist.
