Synopsis

A television reporter gets the lead of a lifetime while investigating the case of a mysterious, Midwestern serial killer in this brutal horror yarn inspired by actual events. Shortly after learning that more than 200 college students have gone missing in a rural area of the American Midwest, Maria Sanchez (Danielle Harris) receives a call from a man (Lance Henriksen) who claims to have personally known the man responsible for killing them. As the soft-spoken stranger speaks of sadism, cannibalism, and irrepressible bloodlust, the terrifying story of Cyrus (Brian Krause) slowly comes into focus. And with each new detail of his heinous crimes, the reporter's dread continues to grow. A quiet man who once married a beautiful woman, Cyrus snapped when he caught his wife with another man. From that day forward, nothing could stop the beast inside. Tiffany Shepis, Rae Dawn Chong, and Doug Jones co-star.
