In a near-future dystopian London, the city is a boiling cauldron of chaos and crime, where endless rain and perpetual darkness create an unsettling atmosphere. In this environment, the police detective, played by Rutger Hauer, is on the hunt for a serial killer who has terrorized the city for months. This criminal is not only cunning, but also has a twisted sense of play, making Hauer's job even more complex.
Under pressure from his superiors and the agitation of the public, the detective clings to his instincts, convinced that the key to unearthing this monster lies in the killer's obsession with creating terror. But as he delves deeper into the investigation, he discovers that his enemy is not simply human: he confronts a supernatural creature that feeds on its own despair.
With a touch of science fiction and moments of intense action, the story presents a cat-and-mouse game that pushes the protagonist to the limits of his sanity. As he battles his own internal demons, the detective must find a way to stop the monster before it claims its next victim. A thrilling tale that makes us question whether, in the fight against evil, we are truly the hunters or merely prey in a deadly game.
