      Texas, mid-1970’s. With the help of two teenagers, David Brooks and Wayne Henley, serial killer Dean Corll slaughtered about twenty young boys and recorded these murders on film.
      From the prison where he serves his life sentence, David Brooks, now a ventriloquist and puppeteer, tells his story through a show he has imagined.
