Mr. Earl Brooks is an outwardly
successful businessman, the owner of his own company, a philanthropist, and the
Chamber of Commerce "Man of the Year". Brooks is also a serial murderer, known
as the "thumbprint killer." For two years, he has been on good behavior, but,
goaded on by his alter-ego Marshall, he resumes his hidden life on the night
that he is honored as man of the year by surprising a man and woman and shoots
them. A neighboring voyeur, "Mr. Smith" captures the act on camera and
blackmails Brooks by getting Brooks to take him on his next murder. A brilliant
high-strung detective, Tracy Atwood, in the midst of an expensive divorce is on
to "Mr. Smith" and through him she hopes to catch the thumbprint killer. Her
devotion to her craft catches the attention and respect of the serial killer she
is hunting, which leads to a symbiotic relationship.
