To the public, it looks like justice finally catching up. To forensic psychologist Eli Crowe, it feels different. Each crime is too precise. Too deliberate. Not random retribution—but design. As Eli continues his work with a task force racing to stop the killer, the investigation accelerates into a dangerous cat-and-mouse game. Every step forward tightens the net.
