Synopsis
Psychologist Karen Shoemaker is sent to an asylum to conduct an assessment of serial killer Simon Cartwright. In a series of interviews, Simon takes her through his past growing up with an abusive mother and talks of an unrequited love for a childhood girlfriend. At the same time he blames the killings on an identity he calls The Ugly and tells her that the ghosts of his victims, which he names The Visitors, urge him to kill further. As the asylum’s director urges Karen not to believe anything that Simon says, she tries to earn his trust and break through to understand what drives him to kill.
