Synopsis

A reporter’s routine assignment turns deadly when a serial killer stalks the Chicago Railroad Fair in this historical noir thriller. 
 
It’s the summer of 1949, and Chicago Tribune reporter Steve “Snap” Malek has been assigned to cover the Chicago Railroad Fair. For three months this sprawling and lavish event will draw visitors to the showcase on the city’s beautiful lakefront. Malek, used to covering the gritty police headquarters, sees this assignment as the first step in being put out to pasture. But violence has a way of finding the intrepid Snap Malek, even in this least likely of locales.  
 
A killer with a grudge against the railroad industry is striking at random, threatening to shut down the national expo with a series of bizarre murders. Before this reign of terror ends, famed filmmaker Walt Disney enters the scene with a theory about the killer, and Malek himself, bloodied and wounded, becomes a target of the madman’s wrath.
