Dive into the Forensic Science and Criminal Profiling behind this terrifying Murder Mystery as detectives race against time to stop a calculated Psychopath hunting in the shadows of the city's underground nightlife. This True Crime Story inspired the controversial Al Pacino thriller Cruising, directed by Hollywood legend William Friedkin.
