Storyline

A sadomasochistic serial killer is at large. The killings are brutal and the victims are found with the word 'Sorry' carved in their backs. When the killer strikes at the heart of the team, the investigation takes a new track and the motive for the murders takes on a very different meaning. Written by Anonymous
