In this story we meet FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit Agent Remmington Montague on the case, hunting a serial killer known as the Hudson Murderer. For 5 years now, bodies have been getting pulled out of the Hudson River in metal boxes, and in various states of rigor, having gone through unspeakable tortures. When the madman calls Remmington to tell him that his mother is the next victim in line, the case becomes a race against time.
