Between 1964 and 1972, a series of young women in Chadron, Nebraska, went missing, only to be found later-brutally murdered and showing signs of torture. While there were similarities between the cases, it wasn't until investigators interviewed the friends of one of the victims, Patricia Agnello, that a suspect began to emerge. Thirty-year-old James McBride, initially unremarkable and mild-mannered, was eventually arrested after a deeper investigation into his past revealed a troubling history of arrests for theft, prowling, and sexual assault. As more details of McBride's life came to light, it became increasingly clear that he was the killer they had been hunting.

Based on true events, this chilling tale explores the horrors faced by the victims of a real-life serial killer and the painstaking investigation that ultimately brought him to justice.
