A dark, cerebral thriller about a cop hunting a serial killer whose crimes are linked by brain research, balancing procedural tension with science-fiction elements.

A series of murders are happening in the city, and a cop realises that they are all eerily similar. Can he find out the link and capture the murderer before it is too late?
