"A man's past is not simply a dead history... it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame."
When a spate of killings seems to echo that of a man currently incarcerated, Frank Black must confront the specter of his past and face a murderer who nearly took a younger Black's life.
Tropes
- ...And That Cop You Almost Killed Was Me: Frank revealed to Richard Alan Hance that he was that person he nearly killed.
- Imagine Spot: At one point, Jacob Tyler sees himself on magazine covers.
- Through the Eyes of Madness: Jacob hears his victims giving him permission to kill them, and so does the audience, although editing shows this to be a hallucination on his part.
