Dr. Sydney Rochester's most terrifying patient, Max Luden, has escaped from the research project of the criminally insane. Max is a cannibalistic killer with a hunger unlike anything documented before. And Sydney is the entree on his menu. FBI Special Agent Garon Sloan captured Max before and has sworn to apprehend the maniac again. Compulsive about catching the bad guys since his wife was brutally murdered by a serial killer, catching Max becomes even more important to him after meeting Sydney. Although they mix like oil and water, the good doctor shakes him out of the detached facade he'd lived behind for the last fifteen years. When Sydney falls into Max's evil hands, Garon is willing to do anything, everything, to locate her and get her safely back by his side. Unfortunately, Garon doesn't foresee Sydney taking matters into her own hands and trying to bring Max down by herself.
