Local journalist Cameron is an idealist who sympathises with the underdog, which is probably why he's still a local journalist! When a serial killer begins preying upon the amoral capitalists that Cameron is attempting to expose the police, not surprisingly, begin to suspect the journalist of the murders and so he finds himself compelled to hunt down the real culprit or spend the rest of his life in jail. Based on a novel by Ian Banks, whose books rarely shy away from the shocking, this is a dark gritty thriller.
