Five years ago, Detective Stan (Willem Dafoe) was ordered to investigate a series of serial murders that imitated famous painting scenes in New York City, but there was no progress, putting him under pressure from public opinion. Stan uses girl Klister (Samantha MacIvor) as bait to attract the murderer, although he succeeds in killing the suspect Eddie, but also leads to Crist being killed. The Eddie case made Stan awarded by the police station and successfully promoted, but he always felt guilty about the murdered girl, and there seemed to be something else behind the case. Stan, who bears a great deal of guilt, is addicted to alcohol and becomes more and more withdrawn. Five years later, similar cases emerged again, and the killer seemed to be deliberately targeting Stan with a naked challenge. Stan has to face not only this cunning and highly intelligent opponent, but also the demons that have plagued him for a long time.
