  When a naked and incoherent young woman is found cowering in the street near the scene of a brutal murder, a pair of bloody scissors in hand, Detective Frank Blackburn is faced with a tough question: is she a victim, or the killer herself? Determined to find out, Blackburn takes her to renowned psychiatrist Michael Tolan.

  But Tolan has problems of his own. One year ago today, his beloved wife Abby was brutally slain by a savage serial killer named Van Gogh. And just this morning, Van Gogh himself called Tolan's cell phone, claiming his innocence. He's convinced, however, that Tolan did, and promises to make him pay.

  And when the doctor gets a look at the new patient Blackburn has brought in, he immediately sees the face of his dead wife - a hallucination that triggers doubts about his own innocence - doubts compounded by his inability to remember the events of that night. Could Van Gogh be right? Blackburn begins to have suspicions as well and is convinced that the two deaths are connected. The events climax in the dead of night, among the charred remains of an old psychiatric hospital . . . when the chilling truth about Van Gogh, the mysterious woman and Abby's death is finally revealed.
