The lone survivor of a seven-day killing spree by seventeen year "Basement Jack" becomes a target after Jack's release from the institution. For the next eleven years, Karen Cook lived in fear that one day Basement Jack would be released. Then, a court hearing in 2006 found that Jack Riley had not received a fair trial and he was released from a state institution. A year later, murders baring a shocking resemblance to Basement Jack's old MO were occurring around the town of Downer's Grove.
