Two uneasy friends, a police officer and a TV talk show host, each pursue the mysterious "handcuff killer" with the aid of an artist who sees - and draws - the killer's crimes before they're committed.

After the body of murdered woman is found, nude and handcuffed, floating down the Hudson River in New York, a string of murders occurs by an unseen serial killer who kills men by handcuffing them before killing them. TV talk-show host Mac and police detective Larry team up to try to find the killer and seek help from Virna, a clairvoyant young artist who draws visions of the murders before they happen. As Mac and Larry try to establish a connection between the victims and the first female victim, who may have been sexually involved all of the male victims, Virna's further visions start to point to her as the next victim as she unknowingly closes in on the killer's identity.—matt-282
