- Synopsis
- Two young detectives, Dane deSantos and David Bell, are in pursuit of a mysterious mutilator, called The Artist.
  This insane maniac kidnaps and mutilates people in an 'artistic' way, because you can only understand a masterpiece of art when going through hell. All these victims are somehow connected to the art form they're mutilated in...
  When David gets killed in the action, Dane is destined to avenge his partner’s death, even when this leads to a divorce and separation from his family.
  With the help of the beautiful private investigator Claire Jones, the story and research of the bizarre killings with an artistic theme is going public, with the intention to lure The Artist from his lair.
  More clues arise and the trail leads to a big gallery owner, Nathan Scott, who was the first victim and hasn’t been recovered yet…
