Forensic pathologist Dr. Fred Abel (Tim Bergmann) is tasked with investigating a horrific series of murders where victims are subjected to brutal chemical decomposition using acid. As Abel closes in on the sadistic perpetrator—a former military operative driven by severe psychological trauma and vengeance—he uncovers a conspiracy involving military cover-ups and bureaucratic interference. The investigation takes a deeply personal turn when Abel's own life and the safety of those close to him are directly threatened by the killer.
