The premise
Follows a seasoned detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer's grisly methods are identical to that of London's infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper – a relentless serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars?
Horror Vault's take
A weathered detective finds himself drawn into a disturbing case as women are being murdered along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip in a manner eerily reminiscent of Jack the Ripper's 19th-century London slayings. The investigation grows increasingly personal and complicated when uncomfortable parallels emerge between the current killings and the crimes of a man already behind bars. With doubt creeping into the case and the body count rising, the detective must confront the possibility that justice may have already failed once — and could fail again.
