1984. Tampa, Florida. Police discover the bodies of multiple murder victims. All show signs of horrific sexual abuse. A serial killer is on the loose. The only pieces of evidence investigators have connecting the murders are minute red fibres that they believe come from the killer's car.

Despite being blindfolded and repeatedly raped, the teenager's testimony helps police identify her attacker. He is Bobby Joe Long an X-Ray technician with a history of deviant behaviour while working in Tampa's hospitals. When detectives present Long with evidence linking his car to the murders, he confesses and describes each kill in detail.
