Synopsis
A brutal serial killer is murdering women in Vancouver's East End. On a seemingly insane rampage, he leaves their headless bodies to be found and writes taunting letters to the police. It soon becomes apparent all his victims are members of the neighbourhood fitness centre. Sebastian Casey, a reporter with the weekly community newspaper, has just begun to work out at the centre. As he gets to know some of the others who use the facility, Casey finds himself drawn into the search for the killer. His interest intensifies when he begins a tentative relationship with Emma Shaughnessy, a local school teacher, whose good looks and fitness regime makes her a prime candidate to be the killer's next victim.
