A series of horrific murders has shaken the East Coast metropolis of Boston. The criminal, dubbed «The Surgeon» by the media, breaks into the homes of solitary women at night, binds them, and operates on them, removing their wombs while they are fully conscious. The Surgeon meticulously imitates the crimes of serial killer Andrew Capra, who was killed two years earlier by his sole surviving victim, Dr. Catherine Cordell. As various details of the old crimes were never published, the police face a mystery. It’s also unclear how the surgeon chooses his victims. What is common among all of them is that they were raped weeks before their murder. In all cases, there were different perpetrators. Some of these rapes were never reported. A hypnosis interrogation of the sole surviving victim, Dr. Cordell, reveals evidence that a second criminal was involved in Capra’s murders. At the same time, it becomes clear that the surgeon sees Dr. Cordell as his true target. He wants revenge for his partner’s death and to complete unfinished business. A dramatic race for the life of the young woman begins.
