The premise
Thirty years ago, in the sleepy community of Waterbury, a killer known as “The Executioner” murdered Sarah Bennett's parents. Now Sarah and her husband Dylan have returned to town, only to find herself the centerpiece in a series of horrifying murders centered around the seven deadly sins.
Horror Vault's take
When Sarah Bennett returns to the small town where her parents were brutally murdered decades ago, she hopes to reclaim some sense of normalcy — instead, she finds herself at the heart of a chilling new killing spree. A masked murderer known as The Executioner is back, dispatching victims in elaborate ways tied to the seven deadly sins. Each episode peels back another layer of Waterbury's dark history, making it impossible to trust anyone. This Canadian anthology series delivers methodical dread wrapped in a whodunit structure that keeps viewers second-guessing until the finale.
