Als DI Anjelica Henley zu einem neuen Tatort gerufen wird, schwant ihr nichts Gutes: In einer kleinen Londoner Kirche wurde ein Pastor brutal ermordet. Während Henleys Team den Tatort genauer untersucht, entdecken sie in einem Nebenraum einen angeketteten, halbtoten jungen Mann. Henleys Bauchgefühl sagt ihr, dass der junge Mann nicht vom Mörder eingesperrt worden ist. Aber wer war es dann? Und warum wurde der Pastor ermordet? Henley sucht fieberhaft nach Antworten, aber stattdessen stößt sie nur auf immer mehr Leichen, die auf die gleiche Art zu Tode gequält wurden wie der junge Mann aus der Kirche. Haben Henley und die Serial Crimes Unit es etwa mit einem religiösen Serienmörder zu tun?

Un serial killer e il suo imitatore sono coinvolti in un violento gioco del gatto e del topo. Quando la detective ispettore Anjelica Henley torna in servizio attivo con l'Unità Crimini Seriali, viene chiamata sulla scena di un crimine. Sono stati trovati pezzi di corpi smembrati di due vittime lungo il fiume. Il modus operandi presenta una sorprendente somiglianza con Peter Olivier, il noto Jigsaw Killer, che ha trascorso gli ultimi due anni in prigione. Quando scopre che qualcuno sta appropriandosi della sua firma macabra - l'arrangiamento degli arti delle vittime in forme di pezzi di puzzle - decide di prendere in mano la situazione. Con il numero dei cadaveri in aumento, la detective ispettore Anjelica Henley si trova di fronte a una nuova minaccia inimmaginabile. Riuscirà ad arrestare l'imitatore prima che Olivier trovi un modo per colpirlo per primo? O diventerà lei stessa la prossima vittima?
