An investigative reporter is a witness, as he is murdered piece by piece. He catches a glimpse of a headless man dressed in black, as a plate is hammered into his forehead. A mother's captor gazes at her through a cream coloured mask, at once revolted and aroused by her stench and bestiality. A teacher watches as a purple-gloved hand holding a boning knife severs his index finger and uses its bloody stub to sign an oath. These three murders are only the beginning of the killer's savage, calculating plan.
