    When D.I. Mahoney is called to the scene of a ritualistic murder in southern Tasmania, he and his team must unlock the mind behind the murder before the killer can claim his next victim.  
    The theatrically staged crime scene confounds the detective as he quickly realizes that he’s faced with apprehending a psychotic, yet methodical killer. Although Mahoney is confident in the forensic and investigative arms of his Homicide Squad, he’s unsure that he has the necessary psychological insight to apprehend a murderer who seems so unhinged. 
    After a second ritual slaying, Mahoney makes the startling discovery that the victims come from a seemingly privileged upbringing and, that the killer is intent on squaring up with those who he sees as being unjustifiably advantaged. 
    In pursuit of a potential suspect, the detective finds that his quarry is relishing the cat and mouse game that the two are playing. Now, Mahoney must use every resource available to him if he is to end the killing spree of this dangerous psychopath... and if he is also to save one of his own.
