Synopsis
Inspired by true events, a spate of seemingly random murders of women throws Boston into terror. The film trails a small team of detectives as they chase fragmentary leads, piece together scant evidence and battle mounting uncertainty while trying to build a case. The Strangler only emerges later in the story, and when he does he is shown almost entirely through the investigators’ perspectives—their methods, doubts and discoveries shaping the tense, procedural narrative.
